"Thanks to Crime Solvers Central, we found my cousin E***** after she’d been missing for over a year. I posted out of desperation, not expecting much — but within days, people reached out with tips." - LT

"My Aunt N*** was murdered in 1996, and for nearly three decades, our family lived with the pain of not knowing who did it or why. The case had gone cold. We always believed she deserved justice, but we felt powerless — until I found CrimeSolversCentral.com. Someone recognized a pattern from another cold case, and that sparked renewed interest from law enforcement. Long story short, an arrest was made last year. DNA confirmed it. We finally know who took her from us — and they’re behind bars!" - AM

Linda Maxwell Death in Calais, ME

Date of Death: 1984-08-26

After more than 42 years Raymond Brown, 67, has been found guilty in the 1984 murder of 18-year-old Linda Maxwell of Calais, Maine. The jury returned the guilty verdict on Oct. 8, 2026 after about an hour of deliberation. Prosecutors described a renewed investigation that included exhumation, dozens of new interviews and recorded interviews with Brown.
Testimony at trial included a cold-case investigator, a jailhouse witness, other witnesses about Linda’s class ring and a review of river conditions; defense witnesses challenged the old investigation and the strength of physical evidence. Brown is being held without bail and will be sentenced at a later date.
Hard to believe it took this long, but I hope Linda’s family finally gets some answers and that the sentencing brings them some measure of justice, they didn't deserve to wait this long.... ...View Post & Comment
