On the morning of July 5, 2017, in Madison, Maine, 25-year-old Dustin Lee Tuttle and his mother, 53-year-old Lori Hayden, were shot and killed inside their Russell Road home. Dustin and his girlfriend were awakened by a gunshot and Lori’s screams; before Dustin could get out of his bedroom, his father entered and shot him. The girlfriend was reportedly told she would not be harmed and then fled the house.

Afterwards Carroll Tuttle Jr. went to a neighbor’s home and fatally shot 57-year-old Michael Spaulding, and wounded a relative, Harvey Austin. Somerset County sheriff’s deputies confronted Carroll Tuttle Jr. in his driveway, and he was shot and killed by officers. Investigators later reported that Carroll Tuttle Jr. acted under the false belief Lori Hayden was having an affair with Spaulding. Friends and family remembered Dustin as a man with a contagious smile, close to his mother and a father to a young daughter.

Does anyone in the Madison area have memories or information about Dustin, his family, or the relationships involved that could shed light on what led to that morning?
