Dorrian's Red Hand Restaurant - Role in "Preppie Murder"

Role in "Preppie Murder"

On the night of August 25, 1986, Robert Chambers was socializing at what was then called Dorrian's Red Hand with then girlfriend Alex Kapp. That night, Kapp broke up with Chambers, apparently due to the presence of Chambers' ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Levin. Chambers later left the bar with Levin and her dead body was found the next morning. The name "Dorrian's Red Hand" was subsequently truncated to "Dorrian's" due to the obvious negative connotations of "Red Hand" following the Levin murder.

Famous quotes containing the words role in, role and/or murder:

    Friends serve central functions for children that parents do not, and they play a critical role in shaping children’s social skills and their sense of identity. . . . The difference between a child with close friendships and a child who wants to make friends but is unable to can be the difference between a child who is happy and a child who is distressed in one large area of life.
    Zick Rubin (20th century)

    The addition of a helpless, needy infant to a couple’s life limits freedom of movement, changes role expectancies, places physical demands on parents, and restricts spontaneity.
    Jerrold Lee Shapiro (20th century)

    I walk toward one of our ponds; but what signifies the beauty of nature when men are base? We walk to lakes to see our serenity reflected in them; when we are not serene, we go not to them. Who can be serene in a country where both the rulers and the ruled are without principle? The remembrance of my country spoils my walk. My thoughts are murder to the State, and involuntarily go plotting against her.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
