Roger Floyd Ellis, 51, was one of two men found fatally shot inside his red Chevrolet Silverado in Castle Hill, Maine, on August 13, 2019. Allen Curtis, 25, was also killed; authorities described both deaths as a double homicide. An ATV was recovered abandoned near the pickup and became a key focus of the investigation.

The Maine State Police and the Aroostook County Sheriff’s Office led the probe, with detectives and evidence technicians conducting days of work and interviews in Castle Hill and neighboring Mapleton. Neighbors remembered Ellis as a kind, peaceable man who grew up on State Road and was close to Curtis; the men had reportedly been celebrating Curtis’s birthday and had visited a friend just hours before their bodies were discovered.

No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified in connection with the murders. If anyone knew Roger Ellis, Allen Curtis, or saw anything around Castle Hill or Mapleton on August 12–13, 2019, please come forward with information.
