In July 1982, the body of 18-year-old Pamela Brown was discovered at the bottom of a wooded hill behind St. Monica's School in Barre, Vermont. For decades, her case remained unsolved.

Then, in 2007, investigators received a hit in the Vermont DNA database that matched DNA found on Pam's body to Theodore Caron Jr., a suspect who had been ruled out in the past. To confirm the lead, investigators collected a discarded coffee cup he left outside a state office building. The DNA on the cup confirmed the match and moved the case forward.

In April 2026, nearly 40 years after the murder of Kathleen Flynn, it looked like her family might finally see her case reach a verdict.

But just days into the trial, the judge declared a mistrial after newly disclosed information raised questions about whether Kathy’s body may have been placed in a used body bag — a potential contamination issue in a case centered on DNA evidence.

This case is delayed again, but it is not over. Now, her family is waiting once again to see what happens next.

For nearly 40 years, Kathleen Flynn’s murder has haunted Norwalk, Connecticut. She was 11 years old, newly in middle school, walking home on a familiar path when she was attacked and killed.

In 2019, after decades of waiting, police finally made an arrest, and in 2026, it looked like Kathy’s family might finally see the case reach a verdict. But just days into trial, a single email threatened to undo that long-awaited progress.

Now, the question is no longer just what happened to Kathy, but what happens next. Listen now: https://swap.fm/l/DarkDowneastSocial

In April 1987, 21-year-old Patrick Merrill was last seen getting into a green car in Plymouth, New Hampshire before disappearing.
