A 19 year old's body is discovered in a shallow grave by hunters In the late summer of 1981, a sense of unease settled over the Bangor, Maine community with the disappearance of 19-year-old Pamela M. Campbell. The young woman was last seen in Bangor on August 15, 1981. The following day, after she failed to return, her father reported her missing to the Bangor Police Department. A search for Pamela began, and before long, investigators located her car abandoned in the parking lot of the Bean and Conquest dealership in Bangor, but there was no sign of
Pamela.
For more than a year, the mystery of Pamela's whereabouts lingered, leaving her family and the community in a state of anxious uncertainty. The painful question of what happened to the young woman remained unanswered. Then, on November 20, 1982, a hunter walking through a wooded area in the nearby town of Holden made a grim discovery. In a shallow grave, he found skeletal remains which were later identified as those of Pamela M. Campbell.
The discovery of Pamela's remains confirmed the worst fears of her loved ones and the investigators working on her case. Her disappearance was now officially a homicide investigation. Despite the passage of time, her case has remained unsolved, and no arrests have ever been made. Law enforcement has periodically revisited the case, appealing to the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough. The identity of who was responsible for the death of Pamela M. Campbell remains unknown, and her case stands as a cold case with the Maine State Police.
