July 21, 2008 Boyfriend faces new charges in 1993 murder case Play video

(John Moroney, NECN: Woburn, MA) - The unsolved murder of 42-year-old Linda Goudey dates back 15 years. Her boyfriend who was ordered to pay $15 million in a civil suit is now facing new charges. These charges however have nothing to do with murder.

Timothy Stryker, 56, of Winchester, was ordered held on $100,000 cash bail after pleading not guilty to charges of conspiracy and encouraging perjury.

Stryker has never been criminally charged in the death of Dr. Linda Goudey, an obstetrician whose body was found in her car in 1993. However, a civil jury in 2006 found there was enough evidence implicating Stryker and ordered him to pay $15 million to her family in their wrongful death lawsuit.

On Monday, prosecutors charged that Stryker and a patient, Richard Chambers, persuaded another man to lie about who he saw with Goudey around the time she was last seen alive.
