A man is found dead at a cemetary On the evening of June 21, 2007, 58-year-old Kevin Foley, a White male, left his Portland, Maine home. His wife, Christine, later reported that he had gone out antiquing. When he did not return home the next morning, she grew concerned and contacted the police. Tragically, at around the same time she was making her report on June 22, 2007, a public works employee in the neighboring town of Westbrook made a grim discovery.
In the back of Woodlawn Cemetery, near his dark-colored Mercury Sable, lay the body of Kevin Foley. An autopsy would later confirm that he had died from gunshot wounds.
The news of Foley's death sent shockwaves through the community. He was a well-respected and much-loved figure, known for his generosity and his gift for making people feel special. A decorated Vietnam veteran and a retired Verizon service technician with a 27-year record of perfect attendance, Foley was described by friends and family as a devoted husband and a loving father to his three children, with no known enemies. The seemingly random and violent nature of his death in a quiet cemetery, a place he had no known reason to be, left everyone who knew him mystified. Police believe he was targeted and that it was not a random act of violence, though they have not publicly identified a motive.
Despite an intensive investigation by state and local police, the case has grown cold over the years. Investigators looked into various aspects of Foley's life, including his finances and family connections, but have not publicly released any information that would point to a suspect. They have stated that they do not believe there was a struggle and that Foley may have driven to the cemetery of his own accord. Years later, the murder of Kevin Foley remains unsolved, with no arrests made and no suspects publicly identified. His family and friends are left with the enduring pain of their loss and the unanswered questions surrounding the senseless killing of a man so deeply admired.
