MAINE, 2003: On the night of December 23, 2003, two friends dropping off Christmas gifts at the home of 40-year old Raymond \u201cButch\u201d Weed were shocked to find that their friend, a well-known and beloved member of the Wilton, Maine community, was dead. Sometime between his regular visit to his favorite hangout in downtown Wilton and returning home just a quarter mile away on Main Street, an unknown assailant entered Butch\u2019s home and stole his life.\xa0To this day, a suspect has never been apprehended, and Maine State Police have remained tightlipped about any details they\u2019ve learned over the course of a nearly 20 year investigation. Butch\u2019s family members hold out hope that they won\u2019t have to wait much longer to know who killed their brother, and finally see justice handed down to the person or persons responsible.\xa0This case has been requested dozens of times by Dark Downeast listeners. The emails and DMs I\u2019ve received over the last two years all spoke highly of the man at the center of the case, but a few of those messages also suggested that there might be more to the case than meets the eye. Wilton, Maine is a small town, and for such a high profile case to go unsolved this long, rumors are rampant.
