Cherryfield, Maine – Maine State Police are renewing calls for information in a 1983 homicide along Route 182 that remains unsolved.
According to Maine State Police, Kenneth Kramer left his home on Route 182 in Cherryfield on the evening of February 27, 1983, with one or more unidentified individuals. He did not return home.
Authorities said Kramer’s body was discovered the following morning by a passing motorist in Township 10 SD, also along Route 182, just a few miles from his residence.
Investigators have not publicly identified suspects and continue to classify the case as an unsolved homicide. The circumstances surrounding how Kramer allegedly died have not been detailed in the renewed public notice.
The Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit North is asking anyone with information — no matter how minor it may seem — to come forward. Tips can be directed to the MCU-North office at 207-973-3750 or toll-free at 1-800-432-7381. Anonymous information can also be submitted by texting “MESPTIP” and a message to 847411.
Cold cases such as this one remain open until resolved, and investigators periodically revisit evidence as forensic technology advances.
The renewed appeal may be particularly relevant to long-time Washington County residents who lived in the area during the early 1980s.
