Scott Sampson was 26 when he was found dead on a Portland, Maine, sidewalk in the pre-dawn hours of November 13, 1990. Officers responded at 1:53 a.m. to 64 Pine Street after bystanders reported an unconscious man outside the Pine Street Variety store; paramedics discovered he was deceased. The Portland Police Department determined his death a homicide, and family and medical examiner documents indicate he was stabbed and had bruises and scratches consistent with a struggle.

Sampson was a father of two young sons and lived with his mother in Springvale. His family says he had been at a woman’s West End apartment that night and went to the Pine Street store intending to call his mother; the clerk recalled he talked to someone he seemed to know before going outside. Roughly 90 minutes separate that conversation from when his body was found, and no arrests or publicly named suspects have been announced.

Does anyone who was in Portland’s West End or around Pine Street on the night of November 12–13, 1990, have information that could help the family or investigators?
