About this episode
Stockton Springs, Maine. 1984.
On February 11th, 2022, Kirt Damon Sr, stood before a judge at the Waldo County Courthouse facing charges for the 1984 murder of Dorothea Burke.
After celebrating her 63rd birthday at her favorite local dive bar, Dorothea Burke went missing. Five days later, her body was found on the side of the road. She'd been bludgeoned to death.
Dot's case sat on the Maine Cold Case list for almost 4 decades waiting for this moment her killer would finally be brought to justice. Her case is the most recent success for the Maine State Police Unsolved Homicide Unit, and stands as hope to other families still awaiting their day in court.
This is an important update episode, and the story of the road to justice in the case of Dorothea Burke.
