The Murder of Darien Richardson Part 2 (Maine)

Published: Aug. 9, 2021, 7:30 a.m.

Since that night in January 2010 when a masked intruder fired several rounds into Darien Richardson\u2019s bedroom, Judi Richardson and her family have waited for the call that would bring them closure and justice in Darien\u2019s still unsolved murder. In Part 1, we got to know Darien through the eyes of her mother, and we heard about the painful, emotional road to recovery after suffering two gunshot wounds that was then unexpectedly cut short. Begin listening with Part 1 for the full story. In Part 2, with Darien\u2019s passing, Portland Police had a homicide investigation on their hands. A clue still lodged in Darien\u2019s hip would lead them to the first big break in the case, but a break that would only take them so far when a loophole left the investigation stalled at a frustrating dead end.
