Episode 206: The Murder of Leslie Spellman

Join Katie and Liz on another episode of True Crime New England as they discuss a decades-long unsolved murder. 27-year-old Leslie Spellman was hitchhiking with her younger sister in June of 1977, when they separated ways to try and end up at different locations. Unfortunately, Leslie was found the next morning in Northeast Harbor, Maine, bludgeoned to death. Due to the circumstances leading up to her death, like hitchhiking and being far from her home in Hingham, Massachusetts, the evidence of who did the crime was scarce. While she has potentially been connected to two serial killers, there has never been an official suspect named. Now, nearing 50 years later, her murder remains unsolved.
