On the morning of November 29, 2011, 53-year-old Udo Schneider, a maintenance worker at Hilltop Manor nursing home in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, was shot and killed outside his workplace. A man identified as Michael Curtis, a 46-year-old Piscataquis County Sheriff’s Department dispatcher, reportedly approached Schneider, confirmed his identity, and fired multiple times in front of several witnesses.

Curtis fled in a pickup truck and was later found at the Piscataquis Valley Fairgrounds. A standoff with law enforcement ended when a state trooper shot and killed Curtis. An autopsy confirmed Schneider died of multiple gunshot wounds and Curtis died of a single gunshot wound. The two men knew each other; Curtis was married to Schneider’s ex-wife, and there had been reported arguments about the children Schneider had with his ex-wife, though friends did not report major animosity.

Schneider, born in Germany, was described as a loving father to his five children and a good friend. Does anyone have information about Schneider’s last day or witnessed the events outside Hilltop Manor?
