S3 E2 The Suspicious Death of Linda Maxwell

A teenage girl goes out with friends in Calais. Days later, her body washes ashore.

Life in the small town turned upside down in 1984.

Kim Steadman was one of the last people to see Linda Maxwell alive 37 years ago, she still doesn't know how her friend ended up dead in the St. Croix River.

"Her biggest fear was drowning," Steadman said.

She was 18 years old.

Steadman says there was a group of men in a truck that night, they were older and into drugs. She saw Linda with them on the night of August 23, when the group pulled into "the mart" parking lot, their usual hangout.

She says Linda left with the same group. The next morning, she was a missing person, and the community started to search.

Three days later, Linda's naked body washed ashore at the Robbinston boat landing.

With little evidence, the case went cold.

Nothing can bring Linda back, but answers would ease some of the pain for this small town.

But the question remains, will anyone speak up, to bring a killer to justice?

Tonight we are joined by Kim Steadman, a childhood friend of Linda Maxwell as she tells the story of what she has learned about that night,
