It’s almost beyond belief. How does someone make it through the worst of two wars only to be gunned down on the streets of home for the few bucks in his pocket?
It’s been 40 years since the murder of Heren Cabacar, a soldier who survived the Bataan Death March of World War II and the prison camps of the Korean War.
Forty years since Portsmouth police knocked on the family’s door at 4 a.m.
Forty years since the headlines shouted “Ex-POW killed on walk home.”
Forty years of wondering who did it. And trying to make sure the crime isn’t forgotten.

Walking home after winning the bingo. How many other winners didn’t make it home? Inside job? That’s the first thing that comes to mind. Who robs the loser of the bingo?
What a sad story after what that man endured during the two wars.......
A now retired LEO has a theory but you'll have to read the full article to see it......It makes sense too.
Or not. Theory was a random killing by a guy who was later executed for another crime.
Who just happened to live on the street with a perfect view of the Frederick Boulevard stretch where Cabacar was killed.
Sounds like a pretty good theory to me.......
Funny how the world can be shifted on its axis basis what you don’t (or won’t) say.
Your skill at it is very nearly, uh, “journalistic.”
