On Easter Sunday, April 16, 2006, 24-year-old William Robert Elliott was shot and killed at his home in Corinth, Maine.

Investigators identified a 20-year-old visitor from Nova Scotia, Stephen A. Marshall, as the person of interest. Marshall reportedly targeted Elliott after finding his name and address on Maine’s publicly accessible sex offender registry. That same morning Marshall is reported to have killed another man, 57-year-old Joseph Gray of Milo, who was also on the registry. Marshall later took his own life when police intercepted a bus he was riding into Boston, so no arrest was ever made in Elliott’s death.
