William Fink, 71, was found dead in his bed on the morning of Wednesday, August 19, 2020, at the family home in Marshfield, Vermont. A respected psychologist remembered for a calm disposition and a cheerful smile, he had moved from New York City and, with his wife Ann Borys, raised five adopted children. His wife discovered his body.

Investigators quickly focused on his son, 31-year-old Samir Fink, after Ann reported seeing what she believed was a handgun in Samir’s possession the day before. Bullet casings were recovered near William’s body and a handgun was found in Samir’s bedroom. Samir was arrested and arraigned on a charge of second-degree murder and pleaded not guilty. His mother told the court he had been living with his parents and that his behavior changed after a stroke six years earlier; his public defender raised concerns about dissociation and delusions. The court ordered a mental health evaluation and held him without bail.

If anyone knew William or has information about that August day in Marshfield, please share what you remember.
