He is somewhat familiar with jewelry and perhaps even gemology.
He's no stranger to the criminal justice system.
A cool $2 million in hot diamonds.
How did police foil one of the biggest jewel heists in New England?
Tragedy at a group home in North Reading.
A disabled resident is found dead in a swimming pool.
And a troublesome mountain lion suspected of killing a jogger is put to sleep in California.
Now, Casey Kaufman, Barry Burbank, Bob Lobel.
This is WBZ-News 4.
Good evening, I'm Casey Kaufman.
It could have been the heist of a lifetime for a would-be thief.
The take? Cooled $2 million worth of hot diamonds.
But as WBZ's Mike Macklin tells us, Lin and Danvers police foiled the heist.
And tonight, their suspect is behind bars, ready to face the charges.
These are various settings and diamonds and tennis bracelets and gold bracelets.
Nine days after it was stolen, investigators believe they've recovered most, if not all, the loot taken
in a daring holdup of a Danvers jewelry store.
Well, we're alleging that the original labels were removed
and the contraband was in the process of being repackaged for sale.
The holdup took place at Estalkowicz Diamond Importers in Danvers on April 21st.
The robber was one cool customer.
He alluded to having a weapon by patting his side and announcing that this was in fact an armed robbery.
He accrossed the three employees, made his way to a safe in the back of the room,
and made off with what we see here before us today.
The heist netted more than 300 loose diamonds, along with diamond tennis bracelets, settings and other rings.
All told, the recovered jewelry is worth about $2.2 million.
One of the bigger stones recovered this diamond, nearly three carats, with a retail value of $30,000.
Investigators recovered the loot when they raided this home at 48 North Franklin Street in Lin
and arrested 25-year-old Earl Vaughan.
I was shocked, very shocked, because he's the only type of kid that's been involved like that.
He's a hard worker, he's a welder, machiner, iron worker.
His history indicates that he's no stranger to the criminal justice system.
Investigators had reason to believe they'd find more than just jewelry here, and they did.
They found three weapons, including a shotgun and two handguns.
Two of the weapons were reported stolen.
We were concerned with the safety of the officers upon entry
because we had reason to believe there would be weapons in the home.
Danvers and Lin police kept news of the diamond heist quiet,
hoping they could crack the case quickly before the thief had time to get rid of the hot jewels.
They managed to make one of the largest recoveries of stolen jewels ever in a matter of just days.
Mike Macklin, WBZ, News 4.
The suspect will be arraigned in Lin District Court tomorrow.
So far he is only charged with receiving the stolen goods, not taking them.
Police are looking for at least one more suspect.
State police and the Department of Mental Health are investigating the drowning of a 35-year-old mentally
and physically disabled man in North Reading.
It happened yesterday morning at the group home where the man lived, which is run by a private contractor.
The victim is identified as Frank Savinelli.
Firefighters were called to the home and found Savinelli lying on the ground
near a swimming pool with about three feet of water in it.
Staff members were trying to revive him.
Police say Savinelli was taken outside by a staff member to a patio behind the house.
That staff person then went back inside and left Savinelli alone while another resident was brought outside.
Upon the staff member's return, Savinelli, who was unable to walk, was missing.
Police say apparently pushed himself into the pool by using his arms.
Savinelli was declared dead at Winchester Hospital.
Veteran Boston Cop faces arraignment on rape charges tomorrow.
60-year-old Officer Leo Coogan was picked up out of a lineup by a prostitute who says he raped her.
Coogan was working in the combat zone early Friday morning.
Boston Herald reporter and a photographer told police they saw a woman enter Coogan's car.
Later, the woman who spoke to News 4 told the Herald employees, quote,
that cop just raped me.
She also said Coogan threatened to arrest her if she didn't cooperate.
Mayor Menino says the charges will be fully investigated.
A police official who was sworn officer to uphold the law broke the law.
And the investigation will go forward.
Commissioner Evans and I were meeting this morning on the issue and we'll continue to talk about the issue
and we'll wait for the investigation to be completed.
Coogan is free on personal recognizance and has been placed on paid administrative leave.
Doctors at Boston City Hospital were unable to save a Roxbury shooting victim.
31-year-old Michael C. Adams died minutes after arriving at the hospital earlier this morning.
He was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds outside his apartment at 94 Crispus Attucks Place.
Police have no suspects or motive in the shooting.
And a 19-year-old Halifax man is hospitalized in guarded condition tonight after he was severely stabbed.
Jeffrey Zabraski was med flighted to Boston City Hospital last night after the incident in Kingston.
A 16-year-old from Kingston is being held without bail on attempted murder and assault charges.
Police say the stabbing apparently followed an argument involving a group of teenagers.
In news from around the world, two journalists working for American publications were killed
when their car ran over a landmine near Mostar, Bosnia.
And the situation is described as getting unstable around the besieged Muslim enclave of Bosnia.
A week after the deadline to withdraw, Bosnian Serbs still are within the exclusion zone.
But UN officials hope to resolve the situation through negotiations rather than airstrikes.
It's been more than two days since the polls closed in South Africa,
but only about a quarter of the 23 million ballots have been counted.
Still, Nelson Mandela's ANC party is preparing two-party, projected to win about 58 percent of the vote.
But President F.W. de Klerk's nationalist party is getting a strong 30 percent,
so he will have a part in the new government.
Mandela also would like input from both extremist white and black groups.
Relief agencies in Tanzania across the border from Rwanda are swamped tonight.
More than a quarter of a million refugees have swarmed into a camp where there are few supplies.
There's only enough food for two days and very little medical supplies.
The refugees left an estimated $100,000, 100,000 dead in a month of civil war.
Today is May Day, a traditional holiday for workers in former communist countries.
More than 10,000 people rallied in Moscow.
The themes were communist with demands for the overthrow of the Yeltsin government.
But this year, the protests were peaceful.
Well, it should be safe to jog again in a state park in the Sierra Foothills west of Sacramento, California,
after hunters shot to death a mountain lion suspected of killing a woman jogger.
The big cat came back to almost the exact spot where the 40-year-old woman was attacked eight days ago.
It was the first time in this century that a mountain lion killed a human in California,
and there were signs the cougar chased the woman after the initial attack, making it necessary to destroy the animal.

Now, Casey Kaufman, WBC News 4 continues.
There's yet another place tonight where smokers are banned from lighting up.
Beginning today, Amtrak is banning smoking on all short- and medium-distance trains.
With new concerns about secondhand smoke and a growing intolerance of smoking in general,
the company says its ban is the right move at the right time.
Among the routes affected, the well-traveled Northeast Corridor from Boston to Washington, D.C.
And beginning tomorrow, the government launches a campaign to introduce new labels
that must be on nearly all food products next week.
The new labels, which some manufacturers have already started using,
are designed to give more information about calories and fat to help consumers eat healthier.
A host of well-knowns, including Red Sox pitcher Roger Clemens,
will appear in a series of public service announcements.
While the weather was less than ideal, but not the cause,
more than 46,000 people braved downpours and walked 20 miles today to raise money to combat hunger.
WBC's Sarah Ann Shaw says the 25th annual Walk for Hunger in Boston
is the largest pledge walk in the world, and its spirit of giving just can't be beat.
Walkers poured out of the subway on their way to registration tables for the Walk for Hunger.
It was foggy and rain was threatening, but spirits were not dampened.
I want to raise money for people who are hungry.
Money raised by the Walk will fund almost 500 emergency feeding programs statewide.
These include soup kitchens, food pantries, and homeless shelters.
Together they'll provide 14 million emergency meals this year.
The spirit of each person in this community has made the Walk for Hunger
the largest annual walkathon in the world.
Checkpoint 2 at Chestnut Hill is a quarter of the way through the Walk for Hunger.
Some of the people volunteering here are themselves going to benefit directly from the money raised by this event.
This man's a Lowell Food Bank volunteer.
I want to be a help to agencies that are helping people that are sick and spirit.
This man used to be homeless.
It's a good way to give back from what I've gotten, and I'm glad I could.
A 78-year-old said walking was substituting for choir singing.
I am also serving God by trying to help my fellow man.
Ah!
Mid-afternoon at Port, umbrellas popped up.
Few walkers quit. Puddles, rain, cool weather. None of these were obstacles.
We're going to finish you up. We're determined.
I've set out to do my goal, and I'm going to do it.
At Boston Common.
This is the final checkpoint. I made it.
I feel fine. I could go dancing tonight.
Everything started to hurt.
All this means meals for Massachusetts men, women, and children.
Sarah Ann Shaw, WBZ News 4.
Today's Walk for Hunger raised more than $3 million from about a half a million sponsors.
And another New Englander is trying to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate.
Actor Paul Newman, who lives in Connecticut, has bought an entire castle in Ireland
to give seriously ill children a holiday getaway.
The Irish government sold the Barrettstown Castle for $1.
The castle is like Newman's hole in the wall camps that he runs here in the U.S.
Kids from lower income families who suffer from cancer and other life-threatening illnesses
will be able to go to the castle for free when it opens next year.
And a happy Easter to Eastern Orthodox Christians.
This Easter has a special significance for Russian Orthodox Catholics
for the very first time in three-quarters of a century.
Bells rang in the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in Moscow.
Lenin banned the tower bells from ringing during the early years of communism,
and it took two years to restore the Kremlin's towers after the fall of communism.
President Boris Yeltsin took part in today's midnight mass.
And happy Easter.
It was a very warm day in Moscow today, way up into the 70s.
Before May Day, was it really?
Yes, it was.
And around here it was sort of wet and a little bit damp.
Close to 70 in some southwestern suburbs late this afternoon.
We had brief clearing, and then we had the skies close again.
It looked very threatening, but we missed all the showers here in the city,
at least late this evening.
So now we're looking at a couple of great days coming up.
Wet and damp.
Yes.
Cold and chilly.
All of the above.
We're going to have all the details on the Monday forecast

WBZ News 4 continues with Barry Burbank and New England weather.
Well, good evening, everybody.
In about two seconds, it'll be good morning because it's already reaching the midnight hour here.
And we're looking at a morning commute, which we'll see a sunrise at 539.
It'll be about 49 degrees in Boston around 7 o'clock in the morning.
Outlying locations will have these temperatures.
And we'll have bright, sunshine-y weather all across New England, especially in eastern sections.
You head up towards the Monadnock region, perhaps in northwestern Worcester County.
It could be a couple of clouds there.
There will be a moderate breeze, and the roads will be on the dry side.
Here's a review of the radar.
Watch this band of thunderstorms head towards Boston.
Let's do it one more time.
It's moving kind of fast here, but that's exactly what the squall line was doing.
It was moving really fast as they headed towards the city.
It got really threatening from these storms.
And then, poof, they completely disappear.
And that's what happened early this evening.
But, of course, we didn't escape the drenching downpours which occurred in the city around lunchtime
or just after this afternoon.
And some of those downpours produced up to three-quarters of an inch of rain
with some cloud-to-ground lightning strikes in spots.
But much of southeastern Massachusetts didn't get it.
It's in the 40s now, some lower 50s.
It is in the lower 50s in Boston.
The pressure's on the rise.
The dew point has dropped to 36 now.
The air's dried out nicely, and the winds are brisk out of the west at 18 miles an hour.
Cloud is getting organized out west, and this is going to be our next weathermaker.
And we won't see any clouds from it until about Wednesday,
and probably no rain from it until about Thursday.
In the meantime, it's just starting to get to percolating out here
with some tropical air starting to come in from the Gulf of Mexico.
So it looks like a reasonably rainy day coming up, again, on Thursday.
Low pressure to our north.
High pressure's building in from the west.
The warm and humid air is being shoved out to sea,
and we have the drier air coming in from the west.
Note a corridor of cloudiness from New England southwestward through the Appalachians mostly,
and that's where a lot of the cloudiness will get stuck overnight.
So, again, when you head out tomorrow morning, it's going to be nice and bright and sunny around here,
but the cloudiness will be poised out to our west like so,
and then during the day, some of that's going to head towards the coastal plains.
So we'll see patches of cloudiness during the afternoon,
and there could be a sprinkle in the Worcester Hills,
a couple of showers in the Berkshires into northern New England,
and because of the cloud cover up north, it's not going to be quite as mild up there in the 40s,
ranging to the 50s north and west of town to near or slightly above 60, Boston south.
The wind will be gusty 15 to 25 miles an hour.
The fogust at 35 miles an hour and a high tide coming up at 5.55 p.m.
And looking all the way ahead to Tuesday, nice giant high will be building closer to us.
That means lighter winds on Tuesday, but with this sort of zonal flow across the nation,
it will capture that developing area of rain and spread it eastward,
so we'll be getting it on Thursday.
So let's plan ahead for the next four and see how it shapes up for tomorrow.
Nice, sunny, beautiful and bright, dry, crisp, moderate breezes,
then turning gusty at times, patches of afternoon clouds,
but probably no rain around here.
You get a 36 Tuesday morning, switch it around, you get a 63 in the afternoon,
with bright sunshine all day long, could be touches of frost
and some of the usual cold spots Tuesday morning.
Then it will be a cooler sea breeze Wednesday with clouds on the approach,
but it should not rain here until about Thursday, so there you have it.
April is all over with.
We had a month which saw temperatures above normal and below normal precipitation.
And look at that Thursday, 55 degrees.
With rain.
All right, Barry, thank you very much.
Famous figure skater Dorothy Hamill and Tonya Harding have something in common
besides their love for the sport.
Hamill, the 1976 Olympic gold medalist, has taken over the lease at the skating rink
where Harding used to practice in Clackamas, Oregon.
It is the first ice rink Hamill has ever invested in.
Hamill and her husband plan to make $400,000 in renovations to the rink
coming up this fall.
Heard of the year.
Pretty amazing.
That's women in skates and now we have men in skates.
And Harry Sinden on sports final coming up.
What about that John Casey, huh?
John Casey was immense today.
All right, Bob Lobel, also coming up in sports, the best in baseball.
The socks are so hot, it's hard to believe they're our team.
I didn't say that.
Bob Lobel's coming up next.

You can project light in any direction, but unless it's focused,
you can't see clearly.
That's why Infinity employed special projector beam headlights for the J-30

And he was lucky, too. And you know something?
The combination proved to be unbeatable.
The Bruins win 2-1, game one of their best of seven series
with the New Jersey Devils at the Metal Lands this afternoon.
The Bruins win the first game of the season,
with the New Jersey Devils at the Metal Lands this afternoon.
Let's take a look and show you what happened.
They owned the first ten minutes, the Bruins did,
jumping out to a 2-0 lead.
Stewart to Hines to Brian Smolinski, beating Martine Brodeur.
And then David Schaal will make a terrific move,
faking the shot, losing to the defender, and just snaps it by Brodeur.
That put the Bees up 2-0 eight minutes in, and they were rolling.
The emotion, the intensity, the character, the will,
has got to take over early in the hockey game,
and that's what did.
We fortunately got out a little quicker than they did.
I think the first ten minutes was to our advantage
and jumped out to the early lead,
and they picked it up after that and took it to us,
and John Casey held the fort from there on out.
The Devils got one back late in the period, power play,
Bernie Nichols, screened by Al Iafredi,
cutting the Boston lead to 2-1 after 1.
That was the only one that gets by Casey.
He was outstanding in that save.
The game scored us through the last two periods,
thanks mostly to Casey. Unbelievable.
It was spectacular in the second and third period
when we needed him the most,
and he'd come up some huge saves for us.
You know, it's a lot of tension, a lot of pressure out there,
a lot of concentration, and now I can just let all that go
and just not think about anything and have fun.
You have fun when luck's on your side.
Bruce Dribor shot hits the post,
and Bernie Nichols will fire the rebound,
and that clangs off the crossbar.
Jersey dominated the third, holding Boston to just one shot.
Huge play here, 3-1 Devils. Ray Bork breaks it up.
But Casey was the hero today.
34 saves, named the number one star of the game.
Game two, Tuesday night at the Meadowlands.
And coming up in just a couple of minutes,
an all-brewing sports final.
You will see things on this show tonight
that you have never seen before on television.
Bob Neumeyer from Jersey with Harry Sinden
coming up next on Sports Final.
You'll know what I mean when you watch.
Game one between the Rangers and Capitals at Madison Square Garden tonight.
Twice the Rangers take the lead and twice the Caps tie it up.
Kelly Miller with a goal, and it's 2-1 on the second,
but not for long.
Caps in the box. Zubach. Leach with a shot. Score!
Hit by Randy Burriff. Out of the corner, Noonan.
Traffic at first. Score!
At Southeast, Brian Noonan, if you please,
and it broke it open for the Rangers. They weren't done yet.
Greg Gilbert and Mark Messier added third period scores.
The Rangers win convincingly 6-3.
They've beaten the Caps now in six out of seven games this season.
And how about those socks? Man, they finish up this road trip 10-1.
They're all over the Angels tonight. Ten runs, 16 hits.
They finish this road trip at 5-2.
And let's take a look and show you how this happens.
They lead 1-0 after 2-8 and up 2-0 in the third one,
nearing singles to the base of the wall in the gap
in right center field, scoring Hatcher 3-0 with the socks.
We're just getting warmed up. They send 13 to the plate this inning.
Now Perez, the second for one.
Anderson covering it first, and it's behind him and into the dugout.
And two runs will score instead of the inning ending double play.
That will make it into the left field.
Pets the diving, DeSarcina. Cooper heading home.
That made it 6-0. They weren't done.
Hatcher with a second single of the inning.
And second and third RBI of the inning. 8-0 socks.
Meanwhile, Joe Hesketh was doing a number on the Angels.
Striking out 5 in the first two.
ESPN's John Miller was inspired.
Down and in. Ooh, down and in. Ooh, down and in.
What do you think? Ah, forget about it.
How bad are the Angels? Well, one of you has seen this happen.
The catcher calls timeout, but the pitcher isn't paying attention.
The catcher's halfway out through the mound before the pitcher figures it out.
There you go. 10-0.
Seattle's here Tuesday. Minnesota beats Toronto.
The A's snap a 12-game losing streak against the Yankees.
Seattle shuts down Baltimore. Detroit, Jack McDowell now 1-4.
Texas, Kansas City sweeping Milwaukee today.
In the senior circuit, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
Both were winners.
An all-Pennsylvania duo today.
Florida and Montreal took them 11.
The Mets beat the Dodgers.
Cubs are 0-10 at Wrigley.
Matches the worst home losing streak ever.
And St. Louis beat Houston.
Tewksbury from Pentecost, New Hampshire, thank you, is a glittering 6-0.
We've got basketball. We've got other stuff coming up.
So stay with us. We'll be right back.
This is going to be one of Mercury's biggest sales events.
Look at the deals we're offering on Sables.

The minivan that drives like a car.
But what's really exciting is no down payment on Grand Marquis.
$3.72 a month on a two-year lease. That's a winner.
You get a standard V8, which you can't even get on a Liseberg.
Plus more room, a huge trunk.
And now it's leasing with no money down.
Grand Marquis got it all.
You know, when you can get real value for a great price.
I'd say that's a win-win situation.
At your Lincoln Mercury dealer, everybody wins.

So far there have been more fights in pro basketball and baseball
than there have been in the hockey playoffs.
We're only a couple of games into the NBA playoffs
and already there's been more rough stuff than you can possibly imagine.
As a result, the refs are quick with the whistle.
Bottom right of your screen, Patrick Ewing and Derek Coleman bump each other.
That earned Ewing his second technical in a trip to the showers before halftime.
But all that did was fire up the Knicks.
Charles Oakley, 24 rebounds, 24 points.
He was immense, 10 points in just three minutes after Ewing got tossed.
And then Charles Smith with a thunderduck.
Meanwhile, the Nets were setting an NBA playoff record low,
hitting only 21 field goals in the entire game.
They moutht off for a week before this series,
and now they're going to be sitting at home watching the rest of the teams.
The Knicks are the virgin of the sweep with today's win.
Don Nelson and the Warriors and Phoenix today trying to steal a game from the Suns.
Lattell Spreewell with a jam and then gets Charles Barkley's face.
Please. Please.
Check out this play. Barkley with a rebound,
but Chris Webber with a steal and a terrific behind-the-back pass.
Wow. The Warriors had a three-point lead at halftime,
but Kevin Johnson scored a career playoff high,
38-17 in the third.
Phoenix behind KJ, 117-111, 2-0 in the series.
Bulls lead, 2-0 in the series.
Rockets lead, 2-0 in the series.
Out of the Celtics stand.
They're not. They're sitting.
Three-time world driving champion Erickson Senna died today
after his car crashed into a wall at the San Marino Grand Prix in Italy.
It was a second death of two days at this track.
Another driver was killed in a qualifying run yesterday.
Senna was shaken up by yesterday's crash.
Another driver said he seemed tentative on the track today.
The 34-year-old in the car in front of this picture was leading on the seventh lap
when he went off the track, smashing into a cement wall,
pronounced dead of severe head injuries a few hours later.
Ironically, Senna, one of the best-known athletes in the entire world,
had predicted there would be more crashes in the Formula One circuit
because of a rule change that took away many of the driver's electronic aids.
In his career, he won 41 races and over $100 million in racing.
Well, in the light of the note, there was a lot of golf today.
Ray Floyd, the winner in Las Vegas at the Senior Classic, 13-under par.
Women, Sherri Steinhauer, shot two-under in the LPGA sprint in Daytona Beach.
At the Woodlands, the Houston Open, well, John Daly was there, yes.
Chaven, did he lose a bet? He had a hole-in-one today, but no cameras caught it.
This one belonged to Mike Heinen, sinking the par putt at 18.
A new emerging star in the PGA Tour, wins his first three shots ahead of Kite, Sutton and Maggard.
Daly was nine-under, good tide for fifth place.
So Harry Sinnin is up next, and like I said, you'll see things in this show
that you've never seen before on television, I don't think.
I'm going to stay up just to watch that.
Great.
All right, Bob O'Bell, thank you.
Okay, Casey.
Thank you all for joining us.
We'll see you next weekend.
Have a great week.
I'll see you next time.
