UPDATED: The Murder of Leslie Spellman (Maine)

Published: Aug. 29, 2022, 7:30 a.m.

You\u2019ve heard Leslie Spellman\u2019s story on Dark Downeast before. I was initially compelled to tell Leslie Spellman\u2019s story because I couldn\u2019t believe a homicide on the perimeter of Maine\u2019s most well-known national park could go unsolved for over four decades and I couldn\u2019t believe I\u2019d never heard her story before. That was reason enough to shed new light on it the first time, and it\u2019s even more of a reason to revisit it now.\xa0Since the first airing of this episode, a family member of Leslie Spellman reached out to me. Leslie\u2019s cousin Margaret only met Leslie once in her life when they were just children, but the fact that her family member was murdered and that it remains unsolved is something Margaret cannot shake. Margaret wants to take action and seek answers for her cousin, Leslie.
