On April 27, 2010, 22-year-old Benjamin McLatchie of Gray, Maine, was found dead at his home; the Maine Medical Examiner ruled the manner of his death a homicide from a gunshot wound to the head. Deputies arrived after a 911 call believed to have been placed by Benjamin’s father, 44-year-old Daniel McLatchie, and discovered both men deceased with a rifle nearby.

Investigators determined the deaths were a murder-suicide. Daniel, a stay-at-home father and primary caregiver for Benjamin, who was autistic, was reportedly troubled about who would care for his son in the future. Two notes were found in the house that investigators say likely explain the father’s state of mind. Authorities did not identify any other suspects.

If anyone knew Benjamin or the McLatchie family and can share details about Benjamin’s life or the family’s situation before April 27, 2010, please come forward.
