A man is found deceased in a wooded area of the Little River State Park In the late summer of 1988, the quiet woods of Little River State Park in Waterbury, Vermont, held a grim secret. On September 26th of that year, the body of 28-year-old Bruce Isaacs, a male, was discovered by workers who were clearing brush for a local power company. His remains were found in a wooded section of the park, bringing a tragic end to his young life.
At the time of his death, Isaacs was known to be a transient who had been camping in and around the park.
The discovery immediately launched a homicide investigation by the Vermont State Police. Authorities determined that Isaacs had been the victim of a homicide, but the specific circumstances and cause of his death have not been publicly detailed. The investigation into his murder has spanned decades, becoming one of Vermont's lingering cold cases. Over the years, investigators have pursued numerous leads in an effort to piece together the events that led to his death.
Despite the passage of more than three decades, the case remains unsolved, and no arrests have ever been made in connection with the murder of Bruce Isaacs. There have been no publicly named suspects in his killing. The Vermont State Police continue to appeal to the public for any information, no matter how small it may seem, that could finally provide a breakthrough in this long-unresolved homicide. The identity of who is responsible for the death of Bruce Isaacs remains a mystery.
