On January 8, 1987, five-year-old Jason Gaudette was found dead in his Lyndonville, Vermont, home. Emergency responders arrived at the residence where he lived with his mother and her boyfriend, but Jason was already deceased. An autopsy determined the boy’s death was a homicide.

The investigation opened immediately but ultimately went cold. No arrests have been announced and no specific suspects have been publicly identified. The Vermont State Police list the case as open and unsolved.

If anyone has memories from Lyndonville in January 1987 or information about Jason’s household that could help, please come forward to the authorities.
