Maine police make arrest in 40-year-old cold case murder
Raymond Brown, 65, has been charged in the 1984 murder of 18-year-old Linda Maxwell.
Maine police made an arrest Thursday of a man allegedly involved in a murder committed over 40 years ago.
Police arrested Raymond Brown, 65, of Bangor, for the murder of 18-year-old Linda Maxwell, according to a statement from Maine State Police. Maxwell disappeared on Aug. 23, 1984, and her body was found two days later on the shoreline of St. Croix River in Robbinston, Maine.
An “intensive and expanded” investigation with detectives who solve major crimes worked with the state’s attorney general’s office to present evidence to Washington County Grand Jury, who indicted Brown of murder, according to the statement.
