Amy Lynn Theriault was 31 and a mother of two when she was killed in Saint Francis, Maine, on May 31, 2014. She worked as a certified nurse’s aide and had ended her relationship with her ex-boyfriend the day before. Two friends had stayed overnight at her home out of concern for her safety.

In the early morning, the ex-boyfriend entered her bedroom armed with a knife and attacked Theriault. One friend called 911 after hearing the disturbance and reported hearing a gunshot from her room. Theriault was stabbed multiple times and then shot at close range with a high-powered hunting rifle. The suspect fled, prompting a six-day manhunt that ended with his capture about a mile from her home.

The trial presented evidence of prior domestic violence and angry messages after the breakup, and the defendant was convicted of murder. A law known as Amy’s Law was later passed in Maine to allow harsher sentences in domestic-violence murder cases. If anyone knew Amy, her routine, or observed suspicious activity around her home in late May 2014, please share what was seen.
