A man's body is discovered in the river In the summer of 1980, the quiet town of Manchester, Vermont, was unsettled by the discovery of a local man's body. On Saturday, August 9th, the remains of 56-year-old Earl Joseph Greene Jr. were found in a river. The initial investigation into the circumstances of his death soon took a grim turn as authorities ruled out accidental causes. It was determined that Greene, a male, had been the victim of a homicide.
The case of Earl Greene Jr.'s death has remained a lingering mystery in the
community for decades. Despite the initial investigation and the classification of his death as a homicide, no arrests have ever been made in connection with the crime. The Vermont State Police list the case as a C-card case, indicating it is an unsolved homicide. Information about any potential suspects or persons of interest has never been publicly released, leaving a void in the narrative of what happened to Greene.
Over the years, the investigation has become a cold case. The passage of time has not brought any resolution for Greene's family or the community. The details surrounding his death, including the specific cause and the motive behind the homicide, remain unknown to the public. The case stands as a somber reminder of an unsolved crime in the small Vermont town.
