I know, I'm bumping an old thread.

I saw something about this case recently which re-peaked my interest in it. I'm glad that the murderer at least left the little girl (Susan Laferte's daughter Nicole, who was said to be 3 years old at the time) alone, as she supposedly opened the front door of the apartment for him when he arrived by knocking or ringing the doorbell. He could have very easily done something to her as well, but I'm glad that didn't happen.

"I can't remember the name but there is someone out there who many people think is responsible for the attack. In fact I believe this man was even present at a get together where the Laferte's attended and the little girl seemed terrified when she saw him. If you want to read up more here is a website with some more info:

http://www.caught.net/cases/beaver1.htm"

I read through most of everything on that website and I'm 99.9% sure that Donald Degasse (the man's name that slipped your mind) is the person who attacked Doreen Picard (murdering her) and Susan Laferte, not Raymond "Beaver" Tempest. Why the Woonsocket police department have been so resistant to arrest Degasse and were so gung-ho about getting Tempest sent to prison for this crime is beyond me.
