Robert McKee was 35 when he was shot to death at McNally’s Texaco in Newport, Maine, during the overnight hours of June 20, 1975. McKee worked the late shift at the station to earn extra money for his family; he was a married father of two and a sixth-grade teacher at Vickery School in Pittsfield. A trooper stopped for gas at about 1:00 a.m. and observed nothing unusual, but a customer found McKee’s body inside the station around 3:30 a.m.

He had been shot multiple times in the head with a small-caliber weapon. About $400 was missing from the cash register, along with some records and 35 gallons of gasoline, so robbery appeared to be the motive. Maine State Police investigated, excavating a Pittsfield lawn in 1977 after a tip about the weapon, but the search yielded nothing.

Decades later the murder remains unsolved; no suspects have been publicly named and no arrests have been announced. Does anyone have information about McKee, the station, or that stretch of road off Interstate 95 that could help finally close this case?
