In the early morning hours of May 8, 2010, a 911 call brought police to the East Hebron Road home in Turner, Maine, where 38-year-old Jane Claire Tetreault was found dead of a gunshot wound. The call came in at about 3:30 a.m.; one of her two sons, then 17, was in the house. Jane, born in Bangor and raised in Lewiston before settling in Turner, was remembered as compassionate with an infectious laugh and a devoted mother.

A short distance from the home, officers located Jane’s husband, 45-year-old Brian Nichols, in his vehicle and took him into custody. Nichols reportedly made the 911 call and confessed to the shooting; investigators said his stated motive was a belief that his wife was having an affair, a claim police found no evidence to support. Family members had been planning to seek an involuntary psychiatric commitment for Nichols that same day because of concerns about his increasingly erratic behavior.

In court it was reported Jane was shot at very close range in her bed. In April 2012 Nichols pleaded guilty to murder and in May 2012 was sentenced to 40 years in prison. The Maine Supreme Judicial Court later upheld the sentence and a subsequent bid for a new trial was denied.

If anyone knew Jane, her family, or witnessed anything in Turner around May 8, 2010, please share what might help clarify the case.
