CASE#: 24A2004920
RANK/TROOPER FULL NAME: Detective Sgt. Isaac Merriam
STATION: St. Albans Barracks
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.
