23 year old woman is found shot to death in her father's car after going missing for six days In the spring of 2009, Charline Rosemond, a 23-year-old African-American woman from Everett, Massachusetts, was full of excitement and plans for the future. She worked diligently at a car dealership and had dreams of one day opening her own hair salon. A significant step towards her goals was the purchase of a new car. Having saved up a considerable sum, she was ready to make the purchase and move forward with her life.
On April 7, 2009, Charline left her family's home in her father's
car, carrying $4,100 in cash. She had arranged to buy a used Lexus through a man she considered a close friend, Roberto Jeune. Jeune had told her that his friend, Heinsky Anacreon, who worked at a used car lot, could get her a better deal if she paid in cash. That evening, after leaving her job, Charline's communication with friends and family abruptly stopped. When she didn't return home, her family grew increasingly worried and attempted to report her missing, but were initially told by police to wait.
Six agonizing days later, on April 13, 2009, the family's worst fears were realized. Charline was found deceased in her father's car, which was parked in the lot of a Somerville apartment complex. She had been fatally shot in the head, and the cash she was carrying for the car was gone, leading investigators to believe the motive was robbery. The investigation revealed a devastating betrayal; prosecutors allege that Jeune and Anacreon had used the promise of a car deal to lure her to the secluded parking lot with the intention of robbing and killing her.
For over a decade, the case remained cold, a source of constant pain for Charline's family who actively sought justice for her. A break in the case finally came in April 2025, more than 16 years after her death. The Middlesex County District Attorney's Office announced that a grand jury had indicted Heinsky Anacreon, then 38, on charges of murder, willfully misleading a police officer, and willfully misleading an attorney. His alleged accomplice, Roberto Jeune, had died before he could face charges. The arrest of Anacreon marked a long-awaited step towards justice for Charline Rosemond, a young woman whose life was tragically cut short by greed and a calculated act of violence.
