Hey, does anybody have Dick Wolf ’s phone number? I want to pitch the legendary TV producer on a story line for one of his “Law & Order” franchises. It’s the story of Thomas Randele – and it practically writes itself. More than five decades ago, unbeknownst to his entire family, Randele embezzled $215,000 (an approximate equivalent of $1.6 million today) from his then employer, Society National Bank of Cleveland. According to a podcast spotlighting the heist, he stuffed the money into a paper bag and began a new life in, of all places, Lynnfield, Mass. Weeks before he died, in 2021, Randele finally revealed his secret to his family – including the fact that his name wasn’t Thomas Randele. The FBI had been trying to track him down – unsuccessfully, obviously – for five decades, until an anonymous tip landed on the doorstep of an FBI agent. The story gained national buzz at the time of the robbery, and is now surfacing again as “Randele’s” daughter is being highly sought after to tell her story on TV shows and other projects that include “America's Most Wanted” with John Walsh. It's a story that has been kept under wraps for more than 50 years, and our Anne Marie Tobin dives into the heist, revealing the true identity of “Thomas Randele.” Anne Marie spoke with Lynnfield residents and friends who – like you – had no idea that a notorious bank robber who was able to escape the capture of the FBI was living in their town of 13,000 people. As I said, the TV show will write itself. What do you say, Mr. Wolf? While the Randele story was told on a true-crime podcast, a few moms in town have started their own podcast, focusing on the challenges and benefits of motherhood in the modern day. Vishakha Deshpande tells the story of three working Lynnfield moms who started the “Moms Night Out” podcast, which has quickly found itself with a global following in just four months. Then there’s Lynnfield’s Nick Grava, the co-founder of Mobile Barber, a barber shop on wheels that brings hairstyling to you. Started roughly a year ago, Grava’s business is flourishing and is changing the way people get their fresh cuts. Our reporter Ryan Vermette talks (barber) shop with Grava and his co-founder, Luke Noreen, to discuss the fully mobile business. Elsewhere in town, Sydney McKeough, at the age of 12, has also started on the road of opening her own hairstyling business. McKeough, with the help of her mom/manager, Leslie, has begun doing different hairstyles for kids at birthday parties, and even at a Hanukkah event at a local synagogue. Charlie McKenna combs through the details with McKeough and how she is pursuing her dream. Vishakha also introduces us to James Macdonald, a photographer who has found solace through nature and travel. Macdonald’s family traditions in traveling to New Hampshire and hiking when he was a kid helped shape his identity today. Vishakha paints a picture of his journey. Speaking of New Hampshire, a group of former Lynnfield High hockey players have taken the initiative of keeping their childhood memories of playing pond hockey alive in the Live Free Or Die state. Each winter, the group travels up to Meredith, N.H., to participate in the weekend-long New England Pond Hockey Classic on Lake Waukewan. Anne Marie profiles the Young Guns team members who are reliving their childhood memories. Now let’s get back to some current Lynnfield High schoolers, who are just now making those memories that they won't soon forget. Last fall, the varsity boys soccer team became the first team in school history to win the state title, in dramatic fashion, winning 1-0 in frigid temperatures. Sports Editor Joey Barrett kicks around with Coach Brent Munroe, who reflected on the historic victory. Observing the championship up close and personal was Lynnfield High graduate and Endicott College senior Bryan Mallet, who captured every moment of the team during its title-winning game vs. Monomoy High of Harwich. Mallet currently serves as the official videographer for the Endicott football team and has filmed all kinds of athletic events from his high school alma mater to the professionals. Anne Marie takes a snapshot of Mallet’s success so far and details his future goals as a videographer. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go watch “Law & Order.” Dun-dun.
