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 trouble is that the expression ‘material thing’ is functioning already, from the very beginning, simply as a foil for ‘sense-datum’; it is not here given, and is never given, any other role to play, and apart from this consideration it would surely never have occurred to anybody to try to represent as some single kind of things the things which the ordinary man says that he ‘perceives.’
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)

    Confusion now hath made his masterpiece!
    Most sacrilegious murder hath broke ope
    The Lord’s anointed temple, and stole thence
    The life o’ the building.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
