On the morning of September 16, 1985, Michael Sanborn was found shot to death next to his vehicle in the Providence Automation Company parking lot in the Adams Industrial Park, Sanford, Maine. Discovery came at about 7:25 a.m., and authorities described the killing as execution-style. No suspect was identified at the scene and no clear motive was established in the immediate investigation.

Investigators later flagged a possible connection between Sanborn and the local drug scene; Sanborn was a Vietnam veteran and had known associations in that world. Despite years of follow-up by the Maine State Police, the case has gone cold. No arrests or publicly named suspects have been reported.

Does anyone in the Sanford area remember Michael Sanborn, his routines, or anything suspicious from September 1985 that could help reopen leads?
