What is an Unsolved Homicide?
An unsolved homicide is a known or potential homicide case in which three years or more have passed without an individual having been charged. Not included are cases in which there is evidence which establishes beyond a reasonable doubt that the person responsible is dead, or constitutional and legal principles preclude prosecution. Examples include cases which are beyond the statute of limitations, cases in which the defendant was acquitted after trial, and cases involving legal defenses, such as self-defense.
Currently, Maine State Police has unsolved murder cases back as far as the 1950’s. We encourage those with information that can assist in the identification and arrest of those responsible for any unsolved murder to contact us or the investigating agency. If you do not see a specific victim on the below list please let us know. Tips will be forwarded to the respective Major Crime Unit in the relevant geographical area. Thank you.
If you have any information regarding any of these investigations, you can LEAVE A TIP.
