Russell Bovit, 30, of Walden, Vermont, vanished from his dairy operation, Last Resort Farm, after being seen there the evening of May 6, 1986. He missed a scheduled 8:00 a.m. real estate meeting the next day and was reported missing on May 11 when his light blue 1974 Renault was found stuck in the mud about four miles from the farm.

Investigators found blood in the car’s trunk and on the passenger side, and another blood stain on Bovit's mattress that had been flipped over to hide it. The blood from both places matched, and authorities believe Bovit was murdered; robbery does not appear to have been the motive. A convicted killer, Garth Drew, later claimed Bovit’s body had been put in a U-Haul and dumped in Lake Willoughby, but searches turned up no supporting evidence. Private investigators hired by Bovit’s parents thought the slaying involved someone connected to drugs, although Russell was not known to use drugs or alcohol.

Bovit’s remains have never been found and the case remains unsolved. Does anyone with knowledge of Walden in 1986 or of movements around Last Resort Farm have information that could help this investigation?
