Connecticut Christmas Eve Tragedy Still Unsolved After Almost 30 Years Christmas Eve is one of the few times of the year where everything
is supposed to be peaceful. Back in 1973, for one family it was a night
of unspeakable tragedy.
Kevin B. Showalter, a 20-year-old Mitchell College student, was changing a tire on a
well-lit section of Pequot Avenue on the New London shoreline. He was struck and
killed by a car at 11:12 p.m. His girlfriend at the time, was only 6 feet away on a stone
wall and claimed she saw nothing. There were immediate reports of a potential suspect but there was reluctance to prosecute as rumors of a police and judicial coverup were abound. It wasn't until years later that Judge Joseph Dannehy of Willimantic, acting as a one-man grand jury, named the former Mayor of New London, Harvey N. Mallove as the probable driver of the hit-run vehicle. The popular former Mayor was never prosecuted and probably never will because he died several years ago. The mystery of Showalter's death deepened in January of 2005 as a man named Paul Hansen committed suicide. In 1979, he claimed that he was the person that killed Showalter. However, this claim was never proven to be true. The New London Day Newspaper tried to get transcripts of Two Grand Jury Investigations but were not allowed to do so. Decades after his death, it seems some people are afraid of the truth getting out. |
