Friend of Waltham Murder Victim Appears on MSNBC

The September 2011 murders of three men in a Waltham home remain under investigation.

Susan Zalkind, a close friend of Eric Weissman who was found murdered with two of his friends in a Harding Avenue home in September 2011, appeared on the Rachel Maddow Show on Tuesday to discuss her investigation and reactions to the case. Zalkind is a former Waltham Patch contributor. 
Authorities are still investigating the murders. However, authorities reportedly believe accused Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his friend Ibragim Todashev committed the murders as a drug ripoff. Tsarnaev was killed during the April 19 shootout with police in Watertown. The Federal Bureau of Investigation shot and killed Todashev in his Florida home in May after allegedly attacking agents. Todashev had been in the process of writing a confession implicating himself and Tsarnaev in the murders.
