CONTACT#: 802-524-5993

DATE/TIME: 11:55 a.m. Wednesday, July 17, 2024
INCIDENT LOCATION: Butternut Hollow Road, Enosburgh, VT

VICTIM: Roberta Martin
AGE: 82
CITY, STATE OF RESIDENCE: Enosburgh, VT

SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:

On July 22, 2024, an autopsy of the human remains recovered on Sunday (7/21/24) was performed at the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office in Burlington. The remains were identified as Roberta Martin, 82, of Enosburgh. The cause and manner of death are pending at this time.

On July 22, 2024, at approximately 12:00 PM, state police detectives were attempting to locate Darren Martell, 23, in St. Albans. Martell was one of several people being interviewed for the investigation involving Roberta Martin’s death. Detectives first observed Martell in a wooded area near the St. Albans Town School. As detectives approached Martell they observed him masturbating along the edge of a public walking path. When Martell observed detectives walking toward him, he ran into the woods. Additional detectives, uniform troopers and St. Albans Police Department Officers responded to the area of the school in order to search for Martell. The St. Albans Town School went into “lock down” as law enforcement searched the area around the school. Martell was located a short time later and brought to the St. Albans Barracks. This arrest and charge is unrelated to the Roberta Martin investigation. Please refer to the press release of Martell’s arrest for more details.

The investigation into Roberta’s death is on-going.

No further details are available at this time. VSP will continue to provide updates to the public throughout this investigation.

Whoa. Is this going to be a random stranger after all? I know we're not quite there yet with charges, but I'm floored. What the heck??

In December 2020, police had already arrested a person named Darren Martell. Is it the same person?

December 7, 2020, Darren Martell, 19, of Colchester is charged with Unlawful Mischief, and Petit Theft. He was cited to appear in Chittenden Superior Court.

I think it's been blurred for awhile, not just since this case. When the thread first started, I looked up the addresses and it was already blurred then. That would seem super fast response to this incident so my guess is it has been blurred since before Roberta's murder. ??

Yes.... sometimes I have just found things blurred on the driving "google lens"...
I think it is just part and parcel to all the videoing they do.

[Note: Deleted screen shots because I am not 100% sure this is the correct DM as mentioned in the VSP press release.]


Eta: Based on the VSP press release (link below), this arrest is not in relation to Roberta's case. But they have named him a person of interest in her case, were searching for him in relation to her case, and when they found him, were able to arrest him on a different charge as explained in the press release. I wonder if this will give them additional time to investigate and question him in Roberta's case?

From digging around on Facebook, he seems to be a relative of a person who lives in the house next door, but doesn’t live there himself. Seems to be a few different generations and last names/blended families connected to the home.
