On the morning of November 18, 1991, a house fire at 7 Reservoir Street in Waterville, Maine, killed 46-year-old Vincent White and his 25-year-old companion Lorna Brackett. Investigators found that an accelerant had been used and the medical examiner ruled both deaths were due to smoke inhalation; because the blaze was set intentionally, it was classified as a double homicide.

Neighbors reported loud voices and sounds like fireworks at about 3:17 a.m., prompting a police check that found the house quiet; at 5:35 a.m. another neighbor heard a loud explosion and saw the residence engulfed in flames. Police have long suspected the killings may be connected to the drug trade and that the fire could have been intended to silence one or both victims. Hundreds were interviewed over the course of the investigation and unrelated drug arrests followed, but no one has been charged in the homicides.

The case remains cold and the Maine State Police continue to seek tips. If anyone knew Vincent or Lorna, their movements that night, or saw suspicious activity near Reservoir Street, please come forward with information.
