BANGOR, Maine — As the investigation into a triple homicide nears the end of its third week, Bangor Police Chief Ron Gastia still is certain the killer or killers will be caught.
The day the three bodies were found burned beyond recognition inside a car in the back parking lot of a Bangor business, the police chief vowed: “We’re going to solve this.”
“I am very confident that this case will be solved,” Gastia said Friday in an email. “Progress continues to be made, and this case will continue to be a priority until the responsible person or persons are identified and charged.”
The three homicide victims — Daniel T. Borders, 26, of Hermon, Nicolle A. Lugdon, 24, of Eddington, and Lucas A. Tuscano, 28, of Bradford — were found burned inside a white Pontiac with Rhode Island plates that was discovered on fire early on Aug. 13.
The person driving the car was caught by video surveillance cameras walking away from the burning car. Police are tight-lipped about who they believe was driving the out-of-state car and whether they have interviewed the person.
“I can’t give you that,” Bangor police Detective Sgt. Paul Kenison said Friday. “We would be premature to throw out any names or people of interest.”
Police also are not releasing how the three homicide victims were killed, whether they were dead before the fire was started, and whether an accelerant was used to burn the car, the detective said. “We never talk about evidence.”
Detectives are still asking for the public’s help with the investigation, Kenison said.
“If there are people who have not come forward, with direct information, we would like to speak to them,” he said. “Unfortunately, a lot of the calls [police are getting] are reports about what is on Facebook.”
The car was driven by an out-of-state man who comes to Maine on occasion, always in a rental car, the victims’ friends have said, using his name, which the Bangor Daily News is withholding because he has not been charged with any crime.
The out-of-state man, who friends say knew Lugdon and Borders, reportedly knocked on the front door of a Bangor apartment about 1 a.m. on Aug. 13 and left with the three homicide victims, possibly to go smoke marijuana.
A couple of hours later, at about 3:30 a.m., a woman driving to work discovered the Pontiac ablaze in the back parking lot of Automatic Distributors, located at 22 Target Industrial Circle.
Local police, in partnership with Maine State Police and the state’s fire marshal’s office, have spent the last three weeks interviewing people — in and outside of Maine, with some meetings held at the victim’s three funerals last weekend — and collecting evidence, including additional video evidence.
“We have to do certain things in a certain order,” Bangor police Sgt. Paul Edwards explained. “They’re working hard and they’re going to continue to do that.”
Capt. Michael Winquist of the Rhode Island State Police said Friday that his agency immediately contacted Bangor police after hearing about the connection to the Ocean State. He could not confirm whether the burned Pontiac was a rental car because it’s not a Rhode Island investigation, but he did say Maine police declined an offer of investigative assistance.
“It sounds like they really got it under control,” Winquist said in a telephone interview.
Edwards said repeatedly on the day the triple homicide was discovered that even though the car is registered in Rhode Island, that did not mean it was driven to Maine from Rhode Island.
While Bangor continues to be the lead investigative agency, the Maine attorney general’s office took over the case shortly after the medical examiner determined that the deaths were homicides.
No arrests had been made as of Friday.
“We don’t get cases like this every day,” Kenison said, stressing it takes time to do a thorough job. “We’re following the leads wherever it takes us. We are vigorously pursuing all the leads.”
I know the community of Bangor must be frustrated, especially the family and friends of the deceased. But it is better that the investigation is done right, with all the ducks in a row, so to speak, than resolved quickly. The evidence that is gathered needs to be able to stand up in court. Since the person or persons responsible can’t be tried again for the same crime twice, the police have to make sure they get it right the first time. I believe the police probably know more than they are sharing at this point, and that it is right that they are withholding information for the sake of getting a conviction.
If the rest of the world understood what you are saying, there wouldn’t be any stupid remarks on here!!
If they didn’t redirect the comments on this story people would have been writing comments about it.. It really isn’t that hard for the police to read the comments like everyone else on the BDN website.. Instead of running it through their filter.
It doesn’t matter who the victims were or what their lives were like or if they did drugs or whatever. These people were murdered and hopefully whoever did this will be brought to justice.
“Edwards said repeatedly …
that even though the car is registered in Rhode Island, that did not
mean it was driven to Maine from Rhode Island.”
I wonder how it got here, then? Airlift, perhaps? I wonder if the good Sgt actually said this… And if he did, if he intended to say something else. Or perhaps its bad journalism? Who knows. All I know is that is likely one of the most idiotic things I have ever heard and if its directly from the lips of someone who has considerable power in our society, that is a really bad thing.
“Maine State Police and the state’s fire marshal’s office, have spent the
last three weeks interviewing people — in and outside of Maine, with
some meetings held at the victim’s three funerals last weekend — and
collecting evidence, including additional video evidence.”
Really? You must go storming into someone’s funeral to conduct interviews and collect evidence and record videos? Honestly? A funeral for a young person who died tragically is NOT the proper place to play cop. That is extremely disrespectful. I doubt they just showed up in their civilian cloths to pay respects (even though I am sure none of the officers knew the victims personally, so they shouldnt be there anyway), rather they probably came 10 cars deep, badges and guns shining in the mid-day sun, and then stood there like robots in neatly ironed blue suits, waiting, just waiting to find some evidence to collect. Give me a break. This is one of the most disagreeable things I have ever heard in my life. There is a time and place to collect evidence and do police work, but it is NOT at a funeral. Period.
I normally would agree, but I think in this case, they really want the person who did this to go to jail. Some investigative work needs to be done, whether at a funeral or not. I still pray for the 3 victims and pray for their children, born or not. One of the guys had a baby on the way. Such a tragic situation and Bangor is doing a good job of investigating. Keep up the good work Bangor. You don’t want some thug getting off on a technicality.
Right. A technicality. You are telling me that a class-trip to three funerals was required to avoid missing a critical piece of evidence, one that might break the case wide-open? Im all for people doing the best job they can, but not if its a bad job. I simply cannot believe that going to the funerals offered them any major insight, I just cant. A cemetery is not the place to conduct police interviews.
You clearly have no legitimate training or experience in homicide investigation. Important information can be gleaned from observations of behaviors, etc. at the funerals. Unless you have walked in the shoes of a homicide investigator, you have no room to assess the necessity of any of the investigative measures they take.
Not only has he no training and experience in homicide investigation, but he assumes they came “10 cars deep, badges and guns shining . . .”
Am I to believe you have training and experience in homicide investigation?
I was a prosecutor and, therefore, involved in homicide investigations.
Do you have training and experience in homicide investigation?
well u obviously have no training either so u are in no position to judge either, thats 1, and 2 , theres plenty of time to interview someone but a funeral is not that time! what if all u people lost someone dear to u and at the funeral when u were trying to mourn your loss you had cops hanging over your shoulder? i knew nikki but unfortunately i couldnt make it to the funeral but if i was there i would have felt so disrespected by the cops interrupting such a private and sorrowful moment so imagine how the families felt. there is a time and place for everything but u dont barge in on somebodies funeral!!
Actually, you’re wrong about that. And, if a family member of mine was murdered, I would welcome the investigators pulling out all the stops to successfully identify the killer.
right, im sure if your child or someone you knew died and you were at their funeral trying to pay your respects and a cop came up to you and said ‘hey can you answer a few questions for me’, you would be upset too and it would be a ball faced lie if you said otherwise! there is a time and place for everything but a funeral is not the time to conduct your interviews and if you had known the people who passed you would be singing a different tune. its rude and disrespectful to go to a funeral for any other reason than to mourn and pay your respects and if you disagree with that than maybe you should check your moral values.
How completely arrogant and self righteous of you to tell me what I would or wouldn’t feel about anything. Simply because I disagree with you does not make me a liar (by the way, the proper term is bold-faced, if you’re going to insult me, at least do so intelligently). You also make the ridiculous assumption that the police interrupted the services to conduct interviews. That’s not the case. Lastly, my morals are just fine. Again, I happen to disagree with you about the investigative measures taken in a very complex, high profile homicide case. Undo so based on my own experiences, background and education. And your response is to become arrogant, insulting and rude. Perhaps it is your own moral compass that needs checking.
Pay no mind to the troll
Heh heh, ball faced.
Here is a “what if” to consider. What if the “person” in the video that was “grainy” and believed they couldn’t be identified decided to show up at the funeral of one or all three victims and the police weren’t there?
If you actually believe that to be possible, you need to stop watching TV. What if… What if you are the killer and you are just here to redirect the suspicion? Clearly you are not, but you should be able to understand the problem of “what if”.
Thank you for making my point about “what if’s” dude.
I suppose you do have training and experience, based on your comments. I also assume then that you have spent lots of time in the dehumanization process. You know, where they give you a gun and teach you how to feel superior to other humans. Where they teach you that the end justifies the means in all things, and its OK to use people and situations for your advantage so long as it achieves something “good”. I dont need to be a cop to know that going to someones funeral to do police work is morally questionable and disrespectful to the dead. Spin it and justify it however you like, doesn’t change the facts… Behaviors at a funeral… you mean, other then weeping?
They had way more respectful then the BDN…..
I don’t even understand what you were getting at with this random collection of incorrect words. Clarify please? “They had way more respectful then the BDN?” HUH?
You’ve obviously never rented a car…when you rent a car from Rhode Island and drive it to say, Massachusetts, they don’t send it back! It gets rented again, and poof, it’s in Maine! It’s not rocket science!
hey, you are right. I have never rented a car. But, if the car originates from RI, it doesn’t matter if it drives to Mass then to Maine. Ultimately, it was still driven from RI (its original location) to Maine (where it ended up).
I understand your point of view but here are a few thoughts.
If someone were to rent a car in Rhode Island for a one way trip say, to Pennsylvania they could drive the rental to another store in that chain and turn it in there. Then someone in Pennsylvania can drive that car up here and that car would still have its Rhode Island plates.
As for the murderer, this person could be a close family friend who would be missed at the funeral and therefore is there to put on a show and grieve to avert suspicion. It could be someone getting off on their secret, feeling superior and wanting to revel in their deed. I think more often than not officers would attend a funeral of murder victims to suss out the attendees, especially in such a brutal and high profile case like this. I can’t put myself in the families’ shoes, but in my mind I would imagine that the families would be comforted by the police’s visible presence. It shows them that the police are not missing any opportunity to investigate this and ultimately find the killer(s).
I have rented a car here in Maine that had Mass. plates on it and then driven that car to RI. You appear to be hung up on the car’s registration; which really is not very relevant here.
My sister once rented a car in New York, and drove it here to Maine. It had Kansas plates. If it was rented, then that’s probably EXACTLY what Sgt. Edwards meant by his statement.
did it cross your mind, the police were attending the funerals, out of respect for the families? at the same time, doing investigative work!!!! and God only knows, there could have been more scores to settle!! It wouldn”t be the first time such a happening,. took place at a funeral!!!! Ps. my guess or opinion is that you have some resentment towards the police!!!!! and maybe justified but……NOT healthy for you!
Police with respect for the common man? Yeah right. They dont care for the families, they care about solving the murders and making themselves look like great cops. And yeah, thank god they were there, at the funeral. Because you know, the killers might strike again, im broad daylight. Its not like they are forever away, by now. I do have resentment towards police and it is justified because america is becoming a police state. The police are here to Serve and Protect their own interests. They have no issues hassling people. Like the bum who was asleep somewhere who got “jostled” awake, then tackled by two cops and arrested. There is something wrong, there, when the police can assault someone and then charge that person for being upset about it… Yeah, my distaste for the law isn’t healthy but I question anyone who demands respect but doesn’t give nor earn it. Of course, of all all the unhealthy habits I have, I think resentment to those who are in control is rather low on the bar.
If the car was a rental, it could have been picked-up most anywhere. Example: I visited Maine this summer and picked-up a rental in Portland. It was registered in the state of Washington.
It still came from Washington to Maine. If I travel around the world, do I stop being from Maine simply because I make a pit stop in Greece? If I went from Greece, to lets say, Russia, would I be from Maine, or from Greece?
You sound piqued at the police.
Homicide investigations don’t stop at five.
The sergeant was suggesting that the license plate could have been attached in Maine,or, some other place.
At any gathering where relatives and friends of the victims gather, there is always a chance of meeting someone you’re not able to contact during the normal course of the day. A funeral and memorial gathering also offers an opportunity to observe people.
You can’t legislate time and place in which to secure evidence. Investigation continues around the clock.
I highly doubt that it will…mostly because there was too much evidence lost and in my belief the 4th person in the car is also dead.
When these people want people dead they know what they’re doing. It’s a sad situation but we must all come to terms to what this all boils down to which is a drug hit. Bangor; it was gonna happen sometime.
I highly doubt to say your wrong. They already know who did it.
How would you know?
Read the last article, it says that they have a suspect and that is why it was moved out of Bangor
Why do you think the person who is assumed who have killed these 3 people is dead too?
By the way your last statement is way off. There was a drug problem in the early 80’s several actually. several deaths. I can think of about 4 of them, just in the Bangor area.
At this point, I can’t even tell you who is the Police Chief in Bangor. There are about 3 men claiming to hold that position at this point – a former chief burning down his vacation hours, a fill in guy drawing overtime for bridging a gap and a third guy who is going to be temporarily (then permanently promoted) to the position. Who is running this thing?
it was the perfect time for the crime perhaps someone had inside information
that ” someone” could be you….with the inside info, unless you have esp….I never saw where anyone said.” there was a 4th murder victim in that burned out car”
why do people keep suggesting that i’m involved in this. when this happened i was sleeping on my couch or playing xbox 60 miles away LOL. if i have an opinion it doesn’t make me involved
Good point, who is running the City of Bangor Police Department? Gastia seems to be a nice man, but as police chief he is/was in over his head.
I agree 100 % I’m pretty sure that Mr borders knew that if you squeal on them or don’ t pay them or steel from them . they ain’t going to take you out for coffee and donuts. it is a sad situation. for the families.I didn’t know these people. but i would think if you have kids that you would make better decisions. I really don’t think that police have solid evidence. I read the article in the papper. I t seems that the police think that if they write we will solve the case in the paper. tha t the individual will get scared and turn himself in or pople would talk. that ain’t going to happen. the individual is probably long gone. I t is sad that the other pople with borders were at the wrong place at the wrong time. tha t happens all the time in big cities. even though bangor isn ‘t huge huge it can happen any where. hopefuly pepole will look at this and learn. there is always a price when you deal with that kind of stuff.
If you re basing what you know off the BDN then you are mis informed. The entire paragraph you wrote was an opinion based on no knowledge of the situation at all.
Hope they do a better job than was done for Ayla.
What an ignorant comment to make. The law enforcement response to Ayla’s death has been outstanding. There are people who know exactly what happened to Ayla, and they refuse to cooperate with the police. The responsibility for the case not being “solved” yet is completely on the hands of those who won’t cooperate. The police cannot just make evidence up out of thin air (despite what most of the conspiracy theorists on these blogs would have you believe), it takes witnesses talking truthfully the bring this case to a close. Knowing who did it, and being able to make a lawful arrest and successful prosecution are entirely different things.
This happends all the time in Florida. If this was florida this case would would be over and done a long time ago.
What’s so special about Florida?
Yeah, because Florida did so much justice for Caylee Anthony, didn’t they?
What they should do to salve Ayla’s case is arrest all of the people that were in the house because one or more did something to Ayla and the others know what happened and will not tell so they are all responsible or it..
And what grounds are they to arrest them on?
I agree with gsgofer. The state does know a lot more. And many of cases in other states get people nailed to the wall with the same or less that Maine has for proof.
the police may have gone to the funerals to watch people and see who was there. they may have their eye on someone or hoping someone may slip up and say something helpful to the investagation. the person or persons responsible may have even been at the funerals trying to act innocent and caring. stranger things have happened. the police do know what they’re doing whether people here believe it or not. sure they have never dealt with something to this extreme but they know how to do their jobs. im sure they were respectful to those mourning the loss of their loved ones and didnt just go barging in.
I hope the Chief has legitimate cause for his optimism about solving the crime.
Early on it mentioned that they were at a party that night, and knock on the door. It stated in a previous article that these people that had the party moved out and no longer there like within a day? That to me seems pretty strange and who are these people??
i thought the same thing about the people who had the party moving out like two days after this happened. i knew nikki for quite a few years and i love her to pieces and i just dont know how someone could do this to her! and also is it necessary for the bdn to air out nikkis past like that? i dont see how writing those stories about her past is going to help anything! i think it is so disrespectful of you reporters to go so low as to report on the things nikki had to go thru as a child and such and honestly i am disgusted with this paper right now! the paper needs to report on information that is essential to the case and all the other information can stay out of it! we all need to put all our efforts into catching the monster who did this and not into the troubles that many people go thru and would never want aired in public for all the world to see!
Because of things I went through as a child and some things people I’ve known went through as a child I prefer to see it reported. However I always want such things reported in an unbiased manner. If they can do that, I think we’ll find a lot more fault with some of the readers than any of the reporters. Her story needs to be told because a lot of people have their head too far up their you know where. They need to look around and see what’s really happening. They need to see Nikki as a lot more than just a social services case file.
I understand what you mean but i just dont see how talking about nikkis past is going to help the investigation, and i knewher and know that she would be so hurt and upset about what the papers writing about. nikki was a very private person, it took her the longest time to tell me about her past and i know she wouldn’t like it sprawled across page one. i just dont think its necessary for the paper to report on her past to help this investigation and it just upsets me because i know how upset nikki would be about it. i just miss her so much!
Perhaps if the three individuals didn’t keep the company that they did, and the drug connection didn’t exist, this probably wouldnt have happened in the first place. I feel sorry for anyone getting murdered, but these three young individuals placed themselves in harms way by default.
I see a high probability that the man who picked up the 3 victims somehow escaped when the shooting started and has been in protective custody of some sort since day one. Otherwise the cops would have no choice but to name him and warn the public.
Absolutely not true. The police on numerous occasions have allowed people to wander free for days to months knowing well that they murdered someone. Typically in Maine most murders are not just random and the threat of the person doing it again is slim. I can tell you personally that they will keep tabs on anyone they believe involved until they have gathered enough evidence to make an arrest. I’m sure they are also trying to build enough of a case with physical and circumstantial evidence so they don’t have to worry about a confession. I personally feel the only time the name will be revealed as a person of interest if when they have enough to make and arrest and can’t find them or when they have been arrested.
Or maybe since this was drug related maybe this isn’t the police top priority.
There is probably a lot more people involved in this case than just one bad guy. I bet it is a top priority, and more will come out of this than just one arrest. Just sayin.
I stand by my comment of several days ago.
HA contract drug hit for not paying.
I also stated that the BPD/MSP know that, and I seriously doubt they will ever release that info.
and I responded to you not long ago.Highly doubt it. This is not how HA operate. In fact, you may find that they will want to assist in the investigation, too.( This homocide is not welcomed in the state of Maine.) gang….dominican …mexican cartel related. I didnt see any colors worn or Harleys ridden by the three. Just rap garb. ( at least by one of the victims)
So on this note, I am going outside to enjoy beautiful Maine.
I have as much faith of the State of Maine and Bangor Police Departments to successfully solve this case as any other. Unfortunately, unless the person is seen running down the street with murder weapon in hand and shouting, ” I did It”, not much ever seems to get done. I am thoroughly disgusted with all of the secrecy and lack of transparency to the public and news media. What they fail to realize is that the public is in danger whenever these criminals are not caught.
Hey mister I need to know everything like every other gossiper, its called a homicide investigation. What do you people think, you are privileged to every bit of detail. Give me a break. First and foremost the Attorney Generals Office is responsible for leading this investigation. They are not going to release anything to the public. Jesus just read the crap funneling through the comments here from a bunch of non-experts. Yeah lets have open mic night at Bangor PD weekly so all the non-trained experts can come and solve our local murder mystery. Yesssss, your so right that the Bangor Police Department, who by the way is trained and educated on catching murderers, fail to realize is that the public is in danger whenever these criminals are not caught. Are you people for real. Please someone make a comment on your forensic background from watching CSI, I’ve missed it this time around.
Outstanding response. I’d rather wait for the facts than jump on the innuendo.
People need to have patience. If the PD so much as neglects to dot one “I” or cross one “T,” some defense attorney is going to jump on that little faux pas like a dog would jump on a pork chop.
Do we really want these killers to get off on a technicality? Yeesh. Let’s all have a little common sense and let the investigators work.
You spelled your wrong in the context you used it in. It’s you’re! And after mister, put a comma, or else you look like a hick who can’t spell or use grammar. Stop trying make yourself look smart, and other people who want basic answers dumb. No one expects all the details of the investigation, we just want enough information to know whether or not the police have some idea of who did this, a person of interest! Otherwise, it could be ANYBODY who did this! ANYBODY who might still be walking around here, eating pizza, drinking beer, hitch hiking down the road, hanging out at the bus stop. OK, so that’s why we want to know, and it won’t blow an investigation to say, we have a person of interest that we’re looking into. That’s it. We’re not dumb, we’re not all watching CSI, I don’t even know what that dumb show is. You watch it, obviously.
We are not (nor should we be) privy to all of the evidence in this case. “Loose lips sink ships.” Remember that old saying? I’m pretty sure (just like everyone else) the people who did this watch the news too.
A lot of it has to do with keeping mouths shut and ears open. People do and will blab, and the police have to weed through all of the information.
That takes time. Have patience. No two cases are the same.
Of course they all must know that they’ll be stars on ‘Forensic Files’ if they solve this, so there’s that to look forward to.
Big cases = big news = big hero’s who can feel good about themselves.
There is so much I would like to say here in reference to the whole tragic event. I will keep it at there should be an arrest made by now considering the police know who they all left with, know the driver of the vehicle walked/ran from the vehicle seconds prior to the fire etc. I think we all can agree that NO ONE alive would remain seated in a car that was on fire.
Drugs or no drugs the bottom line is, none of those people deserved what they got and it is time the people that did this are held accountable.
Everyone is hoping to see the criminal(s) brought to justice.
Chief Gastia believes the case will be solved, and I believe him.
Each time I see pictures of the incinerated car, my mind conjures up horrid pictures of a planned wipe out. An early morning knock on an apartment door. People leaving with a mysterious man “to go smoke pot.” Instead, their charred remains are found the next day in the twisted skeletal remains of what was once a car.
It sounds like a replay of the current horrors constantly depicted on TV. The sadistic Howland beatings are a replay of today’s TV drama, too. Many of the daily horrors we read are taking place in Maine – especially Bangor- all seem like mirrored TV shows.
If any lessons are to be learned, let’s hope a united effort is made to end this widespread use of dope. The Legislature should have this as a top priority meeting with law enforcement and concerned citizens and medical professionals.
Yes indeed, Chief Gastia and his professional team of investigators will solve this crime. But now the public needs to help prevent more.
Lets hammer out the dope so we can all go home to watch our violent, sensationalist TV shows. You know, because the war on drugs is actually working, and TV isnt there to brainwash you. Brilliant.
This entire situation is troublesome. Quite frankly, a lot of this story
(that “we know about”) makes no sense. Apparently Borders was the guy the un
named driver was looking for. He shows up @ 1:00AM & asks Borders to do
what? Go smoke dope? How does he know where to find him? (Obviously check the
cell phones/email/social media.) Dan or the driver asks Nikki & Luke to go
w/him or did they invite themselves? If the driver knew he was setting up a
hit, why would he allow two others to come along? Someone who was in that
apartment that night, & there were only five people, knows what
conversations took place. This driver was known to others in the apartment. How
much $ would one have to owe a drug dealer to have a hit put on him? Was Dan
dealing? If so, who was he dealing to? Doesn’t seem that he lived the
lifestyle of a high rolling dealer. Also not real good business to kill someone
who owes you money because that kinda permanently ends the possibility of being
repaid. What other possibilities? Sending a message to others who may also
have debts? If it had nothing to do w/drugs, then what? Another possibility is
that Dan was involved w/someone’s girl & that someone was not happy.
Assuming that the focus was Dan, not sure if there are any other circumstances
that would lead to a triple homicide. The drugs are taking out an entire
generation. Unfortunately, the collateral damage caused by those who indulge in
the lifestyle affects a lot of innocent people.
Why is it that the Bangor Police Dept. Is not releasing even the picture of the person that was seen walking away from the car?
Maybe then soom other people might have a clue about something. I mean the guy didn’t just walk out of state or even out of Bangor. He/she must have got away by some means.
You guys can’t read between the lines here? It’s simple dan was probably a informant. Police have informants everywhere, small time players that inform on bigger players inorder to beat a case and/or keep the cops off their back. Mid level supplier gets wind of it or has suspicion of it and wants to wipe it clear. he tells rhode island guy (the middle man) you take care of them or we take care of you. rhode island guy follows through with mid-levels guys plan but doesn’t know hes the one that is the patsy. he is killed and body will never be found. police look for him but will never find him…… cold case. mid level dealer is free of any links or association with that vein of distribution.
What some people don’t understand is that the people that deal in coke or harder drugs at the mid-level have their life on the line. If they get busted their life is over , so they are dangerous. Its not like a weed dealer, these mid-level people will straight up murder you, to protect themselves.
I hope that they do catch the person behind this. In a case like this it’s usually the guy you would never suspect, the one that takes many measures to fly under the radar. The person that planned this is the most dangerous.
I wish the best of luck to the PD and hope they can come through on this.
I have no confidence that they will solve this case. Why is he saying that the car the bodies were found in might not be one in the same as the one driven up from Rhode Island? I do not get it. Of course it’s one in the same. The witnesses said they saw them get in the car, they’ve already reported they’ve seen this man come in this car from RI to ME more than once. It’s the car they got into and its the car that was driven up from Rhode Island unless someone was hanging out with an identical make and model and switched cars somehow between 1 am and 3:30 AM. Who would do that? Who? Who would bother finding a twin phantom make and model car and moving dead bodies around. It’s just preposterous. Almost as ludicrous as suggesting in any way shape or form that Borders might be the one who ran, not one of the victims. Ridiculous. Why is this guy not in custody? They have plenty to go to a grand jury with. Why is he not here being held? Why? Because he had plenty of time to run. That’s why! Probably had time to go back to RI, pack, shower, kiss his mamma and head for good ole Bradley.
As far as them saying we have to do things a certain way, ha! I don’t believe it. Someone from that police department needs to get their face in front of a camera and tell the people of Bangor and the surrounding areas something. We deserve to know some basic things like whether or not there’s a person of interest, whether or not there’s a freaking psycho killer on the lose, what might have been behind this…These are all questions that people deserve answers to. Should people be afraid to walk from their front door to their car because there’s a jack the ripper on the lose, or what? Police made public statements when Ayla went missing, here we have three young people killed, three people who had roots, family, friends and grew up right here, these could have been one of our kids and I don’t care what their characters were or how old they were, they were our kids because we’re all God’s children. We want to know whether or not its safe to walk the streets of Bangor!
Why do you “deserve” to know anything. Its an active investigation which you have no part in..
You think a triple homicide should just go on right in our own backyard and no one has to tell us anything like it’s just gonna fade away into nothingness? Well it might be that way, but I tell you what… if that happens, the DA or AsG or whoever we voted in, gonna be vote out next time around. That’s what we all deserve!
they can not go public with most of the evidence, but If they havent had any statements, that would be odd. but they will not name anyone until they have all ducks in a row.
After reading comments it blow my mind how many people have in depth ideas or predictions about what happened. I’m not aware of where you would become a computer chair detective but its good to see we have plenty of them…
