On the night of June 21, 1962, a house fire at Edward Howard Maps’ home on Sarah Street in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, left two people dead and Maps missing. Firefighters arriving around 10:48 p.m. found 22-year-old Christine Maps severely bludgeoned and unconscious and the couple’s four-month-old daughter, Julie Louise, dead of smoke inhalation. Both were taken to a hospital; Julie Louise was pronounced dead on arrival and Christine died the following day.

Investigators determined about 10 separate fires had been set through the house and the oven was set to 450 degrees with the door open, allowing gas to fill the home. The deaths were ruled murders and the arson was described as intended to cover up the initial crime. Edward Maps’ personal effects, including wallet and identification, and both family cars remained at the scene, but he was not found. A warrant for arson and homicide was issued and he was placed on the FBI Ten Most Wanted list; his name was removed from that list in 1967 and he was declared legally dead in 1971, though no body has ever been recovered.

Does anyone have information about Edward Maps’ whereabouts after June 21, 1962, or recall the reported sightings mentioned in the investigation?
