With all due respect, life without parole is not benevolent. He will pay his dues here. We don't let murderers go free in Vermont. Granted, we don't have a death penalty. But neither does Canada, so crossing international lines is probably irrelevant in this case. I know we all have different...

My Mom is 86 and lives alone. Like Roberta, she is active and of sound mind. It breaks my heart, what happened to Roberta. Her family must be so devastated. I can't imagine how I would ever sleep again if this happened to my Mom. Those of us with older parents who can live independently never...

Local newspaper, St. Albans Messenger: Martell charged with aggravated murder; Evidence connects neighbor with 82-year-old’s disappearance There is more information in the article...

Oh jeez. Our worst fears. St. Albans man charged with aggravated murder of Enosburgh senior

Or maybe she turned him in.

I snipped your post for focus. Boy, you sure did find a goldmine! LOL I don't know this guy, thankfully, but I did want to say that Vermont has very liberal marijuana laws. It's legal to grow your own plants, although there are limits to how much you can grow in a given year, and I have no idea...

Well, the cemetery is right next to the school, so I'm not sure yet whether that is relevant (but I had the same thought). The cemetery stretches along the entire property of the school and the sports fields, and it abuts the 55+ housing community.

I hope not. My understanding is he was closer to the school than the 55+ community, though I don't know exactly where police first saw him. I only know he was caught after he ran from police. Not that it makes me feel any better that he was possibly behaving this way near a K-8 school...

Now I can tell you that the day Darren Martell was arrested in St. Albans for the lewd and lascivious conduct, a friend of ours saw him when they went home for an early lunch. Our friend lives near the school. Martell was acting so strangely that our friend was going to call police, but then...

A few random thoughts: I still wonder if she tried to run to a neighbor for help. There is a house across from her intersection and a cluster of houses near her on Sand Hill Rd. towards the campground. Plus with the campground and ATV trails, maybe she hoped people would be out and about, even...

It's a common mistake! Even people who live in Southern Vermont often call this area the NEK, just because we’re "way up there on the Canadian border." Many people who live in Franklin County grew up in the NEK and moved here for jobs. Other families have lived here for generations, logging and...

I live one town over. Friends of ours live near Roberta. Enosburgh is not part of the NEK (Northeast Kingdom of Vermont). The NEK is on the other side of the Green Mountains, and folks who live in the NEK will be the first to tell you that Enosburgh and Franklin County are definitely not part of...

Perhaps you missed the post by forthevictims just above yours, which explains why we don’t know a name of the woman who was the apartment manager. So frustrating to keep coming to road blocks in trying to track him and possible victims.

Considering this is such a distressing disappearance, I would expect more updates from LE and the media. It just seems so quiet. Perhaps LE knows a lot more and just aren't sharing it. It certainly seems her car being returned near her apartment and cleaned must mean someone she knows is either...

For quite awhile, I've thought that TA is the kind of person who would want VB to know she was about to be killed, and that she (TA) was the one behind it. I’ve thought perhaps TA brought her grandkids to the meeting place for an alibi, and to be able to say, "See, your Mom doesn't care enough...

Thank you! I don't know how I missed that information before. I've been following this case since the beginning, but don't post often. My husband and I did a bourbon tour in the area right around the time she was reported missing. We saw all the signs in people's lawns about her, so when we got...

Isn't JL the one who allegedly drove Crystal's car? Does anyone know if he was paraplegic at that time? Or did something happen to him afterwards that left him paraplegic? Just wondering how he drove her car, since cars are usually adapted for use by paraplegic drivers. Also, Brook has a...

An article in The Independent: Cold case investigators seek help identifying final victim of the ‘Happy Face Killer’ From link: There have been significant improvements in forensic science that have allowed investigators and genealogists to determine some familial relatives, including her...

I can't make the screenshot work, but it now says July 6, 2023, for next court appearance.

I can't pretend to be in Ana's head, to know whether she'd been physically abused by her husband, to know whether she was scared. I can only say what my own experience tells me: as the daughter of a white collar criminal, who was charming and manipulative, and a mother who only started to...
