On the evening of September 24, 2015, firefighters in Caribou, Maine were called to a residential blaze on Lower Lyndon Street. Inside the home of 58-year-old Kenneth Zernicke, they found his body. An autopsy by the state medical examiner determined Zernicke did not die in the fire and his death was ruled a homicide.

The Maine State Police and the Caribou Police Department investigated, but authorities have not released the specific cause of death. No suspects or arrests have been announced, and the case is now classified as cold. Zernicke’s daughter and his brother, Joe Bourgoine, have publicly appealed for information; Bourgoine posted a reward that was increased from $10,000 to $20,000 for information leading to a conviction.

If anyone knew Kenneth, lived near Lower Lyndon Street in 2015, or has information that could help solve this case, please come forward.
