Eugene Mallove murderers were former renters gone irate
More than 6 years later, we now finally learn that two of the revered
Cold Fusion scientists accused murderers had lived with the boyfriend's parents at the
Mallove rental home. After being evicted, a phone call from the upset
mother who had been told their stuff was being thrown in a dumpster, sent the
boyfriend to the scene where the murder resulted.

murderers! Wait until the judgment from the court! There has already been one false alarm..."

Norwich, Connecticut, USA Several Norwich area newspapers have reported
that according to testimony given in court yesterday by one of the accused
murderers, Candace L. Foster, it turns out that the brutal murder of the much-revered
cold fusion scientist,
Eugene Mallove,
was perpetrated by herself and her then boyfriend, Chad M. Schaffer, and a man named
Mozelle Brown at Mallove's rental home at the Salem Turnpike.
Foster testified that she and her then boyfriend, Schaffer once lived at the
home with Schaffer's parents, Pat and Roy Anderson, who were renting from the
Malloves. She said the parents were evicted; then on May 14, 2004,
Schaffer's mother called him, upset because another relative had seen somebody
throwing their belongings into a Dumpster as they were driving by the property.
Schaffer and Brown apparently then showed up and began inflicting blows on
Mallove.
Foster said Schaffer showed up at their Chestnut Street apartment with blood on
his shirt and told her he needed her to go somewhere. Brown drove Schaffer and
Foster to the house, where they had once lived with Schaffer's parents. Mallove,
who had traveled from New Hampshire to clean out the property for his mother,
was lying on the driveway, face down, Foster said, and "there was
blood."
"Chad and Mozelle turned him over on his back," Foster testified.
"Blood spurted from his mouth. He said, 'Help me.' ''
The two men, who had told her they had to make the scene "look like a
robbery," pulled off Mallove's watch, shirt and shoes, Foster testified.
"They stomped him in the face and suffocated him," she said.
"They put, like, a bag over his face."
Schaffer, the father of her two children, then struck Foster in the face and
told her she had to hit Mallove, Foster testified.
"Did you?" asked prosecutor Paul J. Narducci.
"Yes," Foster responded. She said Schaffer told her she had to hit
Mallove so that she would not tell on him.
Autopsy results indicated Mallove died of a crushed trachea. He suffered 32 lacerations to his face caused by a blunt instrument, as well as numerous other cuts and abrasions. He was 56 years old.
Thus was New Hampshire physicist, Eugene Mallove, killed at his family-owned home
in Norwich. He had been cleaning out his childhood home which was being used as a rental property. A woman interested in renting the house found his brutally beaten body on the lawn that night.
Foster's dramatic testimony came during a probable-cause hearing for Schaffer.
Defendants in murder cases are entitled to such a hearing within 60 days of
their arrest. Foster waived her right to a probable-cause hearing, while
Schaffer, 32, has opted to go ahead with his hearing.
Foster testified that she had helped Schaffer cover up the crime for years
because she was afraid of him. She said she entered into a witness-protection
program in June 2009 and finally told police the truth, because she "wanted
to do the right thing."
The state is presenting its case to Judge Susan B. Handy, who will determine
whether there is enough evidence to prosecute Schaffer for murder. Foster said
she hopes to receive leniency in her own case in exchange for her cooperation.
Norwich police charged Foster and Schaffer with the murder on April 1 after
reopening the investigation when a New London judge dismissed murder charges
against two men initially charged with fatally beating Mallove in the driveway
of his mother's home. The police say the investigation is continuing and there
may be more arrests.
Here's a video tribute from an interview Mallove did on Coast
to Coast AM in February of 2004, three months before he was murdered. In this
