Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP11678) and 19 other sources
William "Bill" Currier, age 50, and his wife Lorraine were last seen on June 8, 2011, in Essex, Vermont. They disappeared after leaving work that evening, and their absence was reported the following day when they failed to show up for work, something highly unusual for the couple. When police searched their home, they found signs of forced entry, including a broken window and a cut phone line, indicating they did not leave voluntarily.

Their car was discovered two days later, abandoned in a parking lot not far from their home, but neither William nor Lorraine were ever seen again. It was later revealed that Israel Keyes, a serial killer, was responsible for their abduction and murder. Keyes, who was already in custody for another murder in Alaska, confessed to killing the Curriers. He provided details about how he had broken into their home, abducted them, and murdered them soon after. Despite Keyes' confession, their bodies have never been recovered, even after extensive searches, including at a landfill in Coventry, Vermont.

The case shocked the local community as it appeared to be a random act of violence, with no connection between the Curriers and their killer. This tragic event remains one of Vermont’s most disturbing cases of unsolved missing persons.
