On April 18, 2023, four people were found shot to death in a home in Bowdoin, Maine. Victims included Robert Eger, 72, a White male, Navy veteran and builder who had constructed the house he shared with his wife Patricia Eger, 62; and their friends David Eaton, 66, and Cynthia Eaton, 62. The scene was described as extensive and brutal.The suspect was identified as 34-year-old Joseph Eaton, the son of David and Cynthia Eaton.

Just days before the killings, on April 14, Eaton had been released from the Maine Correctional Center after serving a sentence for aggravated assault; his mother picked him up and he was staying at the Egers’ home. After the shootings at that residence, the suspect drove south and opened fire on vehicles along Interstate 295 in Yarmouth, wounding three people, and was later captured. He confessed to the four killings and was charged with four counts of murder.There is still a lot unknown about motive and circumstances leading up to the violence.

Does anyone have information about the Eger or Eaton families or the events in Bowdoin that week?
