Kenneth Kramer was 28 when he left his Cherryfield, Maine, home on Route 182 on the evening of February 27, 1983. He walked out willingly with an unknown person or persons; there were no signs of a struggle at the house. Kramer was a merchant marine, a veteran of the Army and Coast Guard, and a musician in a local rock band.

The next morning a passing motorist found Kramer’s body on the side of Route 182, also called Black’s Woods Road, a few miles from his residence. An autopsy showed he had been shot multiple times with a shotgun. The Maine State Police interviewed more than 100 people who knew Kramer but did not develop a definitive motive or identify suspects. Investigators explored theories including a drug deal gone wrong and Kramer having been an occasional informant, but the case went cold and no arrests have been announced.

Does anyone who knew Kenneth, traveled Route 182 in late February 1983, or has information about his activities or associates that night have details to share?
