Jerry Tillinghast

Post by miggy9 »

He passed away last night. Anyone familiar with New England OC knows what a stand up guy he was

He was interviewed extensively for that Crimetown podcast about Providence. And there was a bonus episode about his son as well. The guy did 29 years I believe for a murder and on the podcast he basically admits that he was guilty but swears that his brother who was also convicted wasn't. The cop who ID'd the brother as being in the car as well didn't come off as very convincing to me if I'm being honest, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the brother was innocent.

Was Tillinghast linked to the Ouimette faction and any of the Patriarca crime family members?

Great podcast. Jerry made it his job to protect his brother Harold. He always said his brother wasn't the type to ever go after someone, that was more Jerry. Harold, was a mover and shaker, a hustler.
