Young woman arrested after person found dead on houseboat at Boston marina, police say
A young woman has been arrested in connection with an investigation into a death on a houseboat in Boston on Sunday night, authorities announced Monday.
Officers responding to a report of an incident at Shipway Place in Charlestown just before 11 p.m. discovered a dead person on a houseboat at the Charlestown Marina, according to the Boston Police Department.
Police said the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office will conduct an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death and positively identify the individual.
Nora Nelson, 24, of Boston, was arrested at the scene on “unrelated warrants,” according to police. She will be arraigned in Charlestown District Court. There was no immediate word on what charges Nelson faces.
Police blocked off the entrance to the Pier 8 parking lot and video captured overnight showed a Boston police crime scene response truck arriving at the snow-covered marina.
Residents of the marina were on edge and questions swirled as a heavy police presence descended on the neighborhood.
“We woke up about midnight. They had police boats coming in and about 15 cops on the dock,” marina resident Chad Johansen told Boston 25 News. “They asked us to stay inside and stay away from the scene. They said we were safe and there was no worry to our safety in the marina.”
Johansen added, “To have this kind of police presence and this kind of activity going on is very concerning.”
Johansen said investigators have been very tight-lipped since uncovering the death.
“They won’t tell us anything about what’s going on,” Johansen noted. “Just very sketchy.”
Johansen described the victim as “friendly,” “well-spoken,” and “well-known.”
The Boston Police Department’s Homicide Unit is leading the death investigation.

Boston police have arrested a 44-year-old Boston man following a drug bust in Dorchester
Bodio Hutchinson has been charged with:
-
Distribution of Class B (Crack Cocaine)
-
Possession with Intent to Distribute Class B
-
Possession with Intent to Distribute Class B (Subsequent Offense)
Police conducted a drug interdiction operation back on Tuesday after an increasing number of complaints from the community about open drug use and distribution in the area of 6 Lyndhurst Street.
Surveillance teams saw people loitering in front of the address and witnessed behavior consistent with street-level drug transactions.
Police deployed an undercover officer, who was giving documented buy money, and went up to a suspect, identified as Hutchinson, and retrieved a plastic bag believed to be crack cocaine.
Officers took Hutchinson into custody. While doing so, officers noticed a plastic bag containing four smaller baggies of crack cocaine was located next to where he had been sitting, along with his personal belongings.
During a subsequent search, officers recovered an additional 26 baggies from the suspect’s back pocket, as well as a medium-sized plastic bag of crack cocaine concealed inside a cigarette box. Officers also seized an undisclosed amount of U.S. currency totaling $119, which included the previously marked buy money.
Hutchinson is expected to be arraigned in Dorchester District Court at an unspecified date.
