Boston Police report they are looking for a blonde woman driving a silver car in connection with an armed robbery at a VFW Parkway gas station last night and two earlier, botched holdups at the Walgreen's on Centre Street and the Dunkin' Donuts at Spring Street and VFW Parkway.
Police say the woman's not-all-that-successful spree began around 10:13 p.m. when she entered the Walgreen's at 1391 Centre St., and demanded money and drugs, but failed to get away with anything because store employees who had just closed up for the night couldn't open the safe, police say. She then fled in a silver car.
She then headed down Centre and onto Spring Street: Around 10:30 p.m., employees at the Dunkin' Donuts at the corner of Spring Street and VFW Parkway reported a blonde in a silver car pulled up to the drive-thru, showed a gun and demanded money. But when the worker at the window stepped away, the woman fled, police say.
Finally, around 10:51 p.m., she succeeded at the US Petroleum gas station just down the VFW Parkway from the Dunkin' Donuts:
Thinking the suspect was looking to buy cigarettes, the attendant says he opened the door to his booth. When he did, the attendant says the suspect showed a firearm and demanded money. After getting an undisclosed amount of money, the suspect fled the area in a silver-colored motor vehicle. A search of the immediate area by Boston Police, Dedham Police and Massachusetts State Police proved unsuccessful.

And ditched her car behind one of the trailers. And then she took off her wig and fled with her boyfriend in their Mercedes.

She hit Walgreen demanded money and drugs but left when they said they couldn't, then drove down center and went left on the VFW, pulled immediately into Dunkin' Donuts drive-through, left DD and pulled into US Petroleum. She was jones-ing. She had no plan. It was anxiety driven unplanned panic response behaviour.
Doesn't Walgreen's, DD or US Petroleum have cameras up that could have caught her face or her license plate?

Welcome to the real world, where CCTV cameras are too low-resolution, too noisy, and too badly aimed to capture plates.
Believe it or not, you can't push a button and "enhance" blurry images and get plate numbers or crystal-clear pictures of a perp's face- nor can you get DNA tests in minutes, etc.

Hey listen,
People have problems with drugs which makes them do horrible things.... that person you are speaking about is actually a good person, who just got mess up.... LEAVE HER FAMILY OUT OF IT! They are good people as well! You think you can stop someone from a distructive path...guess what you cant! And throwing her name and business out there makes you feel like a better person, that's just low.. You should be ashamed of yourself... Its bad enough her life is ruin....now you want to ruin her name! What is wrong with you....

Her business, LC?
By Gareth
Mon, 12/15/2008 - 11:21am
If she's running around my neighborhood with a gun sticking up people because she's lost her mind to drugs, it's no longer just "her business." Her business is like what color she paints her living room. Being a threat to innocent people is not just her business. It's all of our business, and most importantly it's the cops' business.
Ruin her name? Nobody here is going to ruin her name. We don't even know her name. But whatever it is, she's done a fine job of ruining it herself. Her name is mud, it's perp, it's thief. Just wait for the other shoe to fall, and we'll know what that ruined name is. And it's not us who ruined it.
The person she kills with that gun she's waving around might be a good person too, did you think of that? Or the person who shoots her in justifiable self-defense might be a good person too. Either way, you should turn her in before she kills someone, or gets herself killed, because that blood will be on your hands. And it won't wash off. You're not being loyal by keeping her secret. You're being an accomplice; you're betraying her to her sickness.

I think its a miracle that nobody was hurt. I also think that ignorant people should keep their unintelligent, negative comments in their head. This is obviously a sick person and anyone who makes wisecracks about her personal life is the IDIOT.

Talk about people having nothing better to do! Are we still in high school? Obviously there is more to the story than anyone of us know! How dare you people make comments about her mother. She is one of the nicest people in the world! She would not wish this on anyone. She didn't ask for this, nor did she raise her to do something like this! Grow up! Don't you think she is in enough pain about what happened! Nope you still had to go run your mouth about someone you know nothing about! Act your age and have a little respect for all of the people involved.

realize that what she did was beyond stupid and deserves to get arrested. Imho, she's the one who brought the pain on herself and others who got involved, not to mention her friends and loved ones, assuming, of course, that she has any.

But not for being stupid, for breaking the law.
Addiction can make people delusional and irrational. It's not an excuse, its an explanation.
My read is that Andrea (we'll call her that) had no money for drugs so she went to Walgreen's in a desperate bid to get both. She's probably addicted to pain killers or crack.
Addiction is an equal opportunity condition. It happens to people across races, age, education and economic class.
I'm glad she wasn't so desperate or delusional so as to discharge her firearm. She got the money at US Petroleum but if I'm right about the addiction, she'll find herself in the same situation in the future unless she goes to detox and makes it stick.

I wasn't defending the actions of the "perp"! If anything I was defending the victims in this! All of them, her mother and loved one being some of them! Do you really think anyone would defend one person holding a gun to another? All I am saying is you don't know what you are talking about and you are slandering people (i.e. her family), you know nothing about! just grow up and enough with the catty B.S.

The bible is a fun storybook. Some of its parables can really describe the mindset of the times back when it was written...by man...about man.
As long as you don't go ascribing some undue weight to its words, it's an okay read and a interesting historic text.
Which chapter?

We're not judging her soul, or judging her as a person, but I don't care how wonderful she is - it's not OK to rob people or threaten them with a weapon! It's really bad. Yep, the really bad part is really judgmental.
Andrea....
By anon
Tue, 12/16/2008 - 6:41pm
I know this person very well, and yes she is in MCI Framingham. I thought she was a good person, until she stole from me on more than one occasion. She owes me a lot of money that I was going to get back, but never did. She is a snake, and I'm not at all suprised that she is capable of these actions.
Her family is a disaster, Andrea is enstranged from her father and two brothers. She socializes only with her mother and sister on rare occasion. I recently saw her and knew something was very wrong even though she tried to convince me that things were kosher.
Bottom line: She is dangerous and avoid her at all costs, she will rob you blind all with a smile on her fucking face. I'm sickened by her latest actions, but again, not suprised. Her wacko family is just as bad....fucking nutjobs...pardon my French.
Hopefully she gets the help she needs and stays away from her lame excuse for a 'family' that does enable her bizarre behavior. I think a few years institutionalized is exactly what the doctor ordered for her.
What are you talking about?

Wed, 12/17/2008 - 12:16am
What are you talking about? You just said she was estranged by her family but in the same breath you said they enable her. Which one is it estranged or enabled it can't be both. I'm sure your a sweet person yourself to pass such judgement on her family. What did they ever do to you? I do know for a fact that alot of people in her family have estranged her due to her bad behavior so in your opinion that makes them nut jobs. I don't know who you are but I do know you'd be to chicken shit to tell her brotheres or Father that their nut jobs.
Seriously, Adam?

I am so torn between allowing anon posts and not. The comedy from reading it all is awesome...but at some point it probably becomes libel and/or stupidity as the past two posts show, somewhat respectively.
quick clarification.....
By anon
Wed, 12/17/2008 - 1:31am
You're right.....I meant estranged from the males in her family (as I stated early in the post, later contradicting myself by accident). As you know, she is almost sisterly with her mother and has a luke relationship w/ her sister.
As far as being too chicken shit to tell the boyz what I think of them....well that'll just have to be your opinion which you're entitled to. I know that the sons take right after the father....meatheads all. If I believed I could have a constructive conversation with them, or gave two shits about them for that matter; I would let them know my opinion...which I'm certainly entitled to.
I pass judgement only on people I've met several times, I think that's fair. Admittedly, much of the info I've gotten on them is from the subject and therefore in serious question as to its validity given recent events.....so I'll concede that.
In closing, I'll echo my hope that Andrea gets the help she so desperately needs. I will stick w/ my opinion that her relationship w/ the men in her family is broken and toxic at this point....she has a loooong way to go before getting to a point that she can address those issues that go back many, many years.
Thankyou for admitting that
By anon
Wed, 12/17/2008 - 10:47am
Thankyou for admitting that you do not know her brothers or Father. I've known them for decades and I had to laugh at your comment that their meatheads. Just because someone is strong doesn't make them a meathead.
I certainly agree with you about the relationship with her Mom. It's not a healthy one and has caused so much destruction within that family.
As you already know the suspect is a known liar so my advice would be to not pass judgement on someone that she talks about. More than likely the reason she hates whoever she's talking about is because they've called her out or tried getting her help.
it wasn't becuase of you

anon, Sorry to hear you had your friendship and trust abused by Andrea, and thank you for letting us know her whereabouts. I hope she can get the help she needs, and can her life together.
I had the same experience with a good friend I had known since high school. I did not understand that he was addicted to oxycontin and that everybody and everything in his life took a distant second including his job, his daughter, his wife, and his friends. His responsibilities were a distraction and his need for oxycontin was paramount. I had no idea at the time. I was just confronted with erratic behaviour.
He could be charming at times but he could also be a wicked abusive a-hole. He abused my friendship and my trust.
It has been some time since that happened. I am not angry with him anymore but I will not trust him until I know he is drug-free. Even then my trust will go only so far. I loaned him $320 for a hotel room. He had no place to stay and he had worn out his welcome at my home. If he and I are going to reconcile, he will let me know he understands how he abused my trust, and he'll make good on the loan.
Regrettably, few people with narcotic addiction can manage the change but I wish him the best.
Andrea biggest problem is that she has no respect for herself. Why then, would we expect her to have respect for her friends? I know the answer, I just think its easier to move on if you can understand where she's coming from and that the hurt she inflicted on you wasn't because of you.
Is she out?
