I've been reading about Charles Mace's case and something that really stands out is how determined the investigators must still be after all these years. Considering how hard it must have been to collect evidence given the delay in discovering Charles' body, I can't help but admire their perseverance. It makes me think about the advancements in forensic science since the 1970s—maybe something today could crack open a lead that was invisible back then. If there's any chance that modern technology could help, it's critical for the case to remain in the spotlight so someone with the right information or expertise might come forward. It's important for the sake of Charles' family, who have been waiting for answers all this time. What are your thoughts on the potential of using new forensic techniques to revisit cold cases like this one?
Hey everyone,

I've been diving into Charles Mace's case from 1974, and something that keeps sticking out to me is the location where his body was found—Betty Welch Road in Kittery, Maine. It's fairly remote, and I can't help but wonder if the choice of this spot suggests some local knowledge. It seems like whoever did this might have been familiar with the area or wanted to ensure Charles’s body wouldn’t be easily discovered.

I read some old articles that mentioned the area along Betty Welch Road was pretty secluded back then. It makes me think the person or people responsible needed a lot of time and privacy to do what they did, or they hoped for the body to remain hidden longer. It brings up the possibility that they had planned this well in advance or knew there would be little chance of someone stumbling upon the site quickly.

I feel for Charles’s family and friends, the uncertainty must be incredibly tough. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this angle or if you think his killer was possibly familiar with the area. Would someone local remember anything unusual from back then? Anything out of the ordinary could help. Thanks for reading, and let's hope for justice for Charles.
Hey everyone, I've been following the case of Charles Mace, the young man who was tragically found murdered in Kittery, Maine, back in '74. One thing that's always puzzled me is the gap in time from when Charles was last seen to when his body was discovered. Nearly two months went by, and it makes me wonder where he was during that period. Was he kept somewhere before his abduction turned into murder? Or was he harmed shortly after being taken?
It's so frustrating to think about how much forensic advancement we've had since then and how, back in '74, those nearly two months really hampered gathering essential evidence. The family must have been in absolute turmoil during that waiting period and ever since. If anyone here has insights or theories about what could have happened during those weeks, it would definitely help piece together this enigma. Also, if there's anyone from Portsmouth or Kittery who remembers hearing anything back then, even seemingly small details could be significant. Let's keep Charles in our thoughts and hope someday there are answers for those he left behind.
