Pride month is coming to a close, so as a straight person I asked a couple of friends what Pride means to them. One told me “In my opinion: Pride is the reminder that at the center of what is most precious to us is the will to protect it.”
Tonight we’re going to dive into two very different stories involving unsolved murders of gay men in an effort to shine some light on one of the the true dangers of homophobia: dehumanization. This is a tale of two cities, this is a tale of two Kevins. These are the cases of Kevin Fret and Kevin Clewer. Listener discretion is advised.
Investigators are asking for help with evidence about the suspect known as Fernando for the murder of Kevin Clewer. They believe the suspect was NOT actually named Fernando and most likely only used that name as a ruse when he met Kevin that night. The suspect is of Puerto Rican descent and he fled to Puerto Rico after the murder, though he has returned back and forth to Chicago sometimes. This suspect was a member of the gay community in Chicago at the time. He was known for theft and prostitution. They believe the suspect has bragged to his friends about luring intoxicated men back to their apartments for sex and then robbing them. They believe aside from the murder, this is an established pattern of behavior. t’s also believed that people who know him would be absolutely shocked to find he was responsible for stabbing Kevin Clewer 40 times, that it doesn’t fit his outward display of his appearance or personality at all.Please call the Chicago police department if this sounds like anyone you know, even if you’re not sure.
