Linda Maxwell - Maine State Police

A 65-year-old Bangor man faces murder charges in the death of a teenager more than 40 years ago.

The body of 18-year-old Linda Maxwell was found on the shore of the St. Croix River in Robbinston in August of 1984, two days after she went missing in the Calais area following an evening spent with her friends.

Maine State Police arrested Raymond Brown for her murder on Thursday afternoon during a traffic stop in Bangor.

Brown is now being held without bail at Washington County Jail.

State Police say an intensive and expanded investigation by Detectives from the Major Crimes Unit-Unsolved (MCU-U) and the Major Crimes Unit-North (MCU-N) led to the Attorney General’s Office presenting the case to the Washington County Grand Jury, which returned an indictment charging Brown with murder.

A statement from Maine State Police said the arrest reflects their continued commitment along with the Attorney General’s Office to pursue justice in homicide cases, regardless of how much time has passed.
