On the late afternoon of August 5, 2009, Lewiston police were called to an Elm Street apartment after 911 at 5:37 p.m. reported that 23-year-old Tabitha Pursley, a White/Caucasian woman, had hanged herself inside the bedroom closet. That initial report came from her boyfriend, Joshua B. Gordon, and the scene was first treated as a suicide.

Within days investigators reexamined the circumstances and the Maine State Police reclassified Pursley’s death as a homicide. No arrests have been announced and Gordon has not been publicly named as a suspect.

Does anyone who knew Tabitha or lived on Elm Street in 2009 have information that could help explain what happened that day?
