The man arrested more than 40 years after the murder of 18-year-old

Maine's state police arrested and accused a 65-year-old Bangor man on Thursday on Thursday when a teenager was murdered in Washington County, official said.

Linda Maxwell was recently seen alive how he left Calais after an evening with friends on the late August evening, according to the state's Cold Case Archives. Three days later, the body of the 18-year-old was found near a boat facility on the banks of the St. Croix River in Robbinston, a city in Washington County along the eastern Canadian border, as the state's cold case emanates.

“Despite a comprehensive examination at this point, the case remained unsolved,” said Shannon Moss, spokesman for public security, in a prepared explanation.

But on Thursday, more than 40 years since Maxwell's death, the Raymond Brown police, a Bangor resident who used to live in Pembroke, arrested about 20 miles south of Calais. Brown, who was charged by a Grand jury in Washington County, is charged with murder, said Moss.

The police arrested Brown shortly after 4 p.m. after a traffic disability, she said. He is captured in the Washington County prison without a deposit, said Moss.

Details of the results of the decades of investigations, including a potential motif, were not immediately clear.

In a report, the main cause of her death was drowned in salt water weeks after the death of Maxwell, “but the circumstances that its founded manner found, as it was found, caused distrust,” said the Calais advertising operator in 2019. The river where her body was introduced into Passamaquoddy Bay.

On August 23, 1984, on the night when she was last seen, Maxwell had hung around with friends and others in a parking lot that was frequented by teenagers in the region, the local newspaper reported.

Maxwell was born after Cleveland and Nancy Maxwell and, according to her obituary, had two brothers and a sister who was released less than a week after the body found in the Bangor Daily News.

Brown has a criminal history that goes before Maxwell's death, as can be seen from a background check by the Maine Bureau of Identification.

He was imprisoned for a year in 1970s for a break -in and in 1982 for another 90 days plus a year of probation for criminal threats, assault and possession of a firearm sentenced to a crime. A year later, he was sentenced to six months plus a day to file an indictment for another indictment.

The Bureau of Identification reported no crimes or incidents after 1983, a year before Maxwell's death.

Anyone who has further details in Maxwells or other cold cases is asked to call the Maine State Police.
