The 1958 Cold Case of Dennis Down
Manage episode 379338663 series 2831212
1958 - Falmouth, Maine.
You won’t find the name Dennis Down featured on the Maine Unsolved Homicide List. You also won’t find anything on his murder on the internet.
Buried deep in the memories and archives of 1958, sits a brutal unsolved murder of a man who still hasn’t received justice.
At 63, Dennis and his wife Edith, both of England, had just purchased a new grocery store in Portland, ME’s Munjoy Hill neighborhood. They had recently become grandparents, and they were looking forward to the golden years of life.
But on a cool morning in late June of 1958, somebody took it all away. Dennis was found beaten and stabbed in his home—a horrific crime that left police and everyone who knew him baffled. Despite extensive efforts to find the person responsible, nobody was ever arrested for the crime.
Pulled from the archives, this is the cold case of Dennis Down.
