Keith Charles Kit Destromp, 35, was found dead inside the derelict Pease Grain building on Burlington’s waterfront on May 30, 1989. The Chief Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide caused by blunt force trauma.

Destromp was a familiar presence in the waterfront area, which at the time was known as a gathering place for people experiencing homelessness. Burlington Police and Vermont State Police investigated, but no suspects were identified. The case has remained open and unsolved, with authorities periodically asking the public for information.

Does anyone who was in the Burlington waterfront area in late spring 1989 remember unusual activity or people near the Pease Grain building?
