David Langway, 53, was killed on July 31, 2003, after going with an acquaintance to a property in Glenburn. The two men, who had known each other since 1984, went into woods behind the house; Langway was shot in the back of the head with a .45-caliber handgun. In the days after the killing, the shooter dismembered Langway’s body and buried parts in the woods, then discarded Langway’s wallet, shirt, and lunchbox in a Bangor dumpster and used Langway’s food stamp card while having his mail forwarded to a private mailbox under an alias.

The investigation led police to the Glenburn property in September 2003. A search uncovered a skull fragment and a buried torso later identified by DNA as Langway. A recorded call from the shooter’s wife in Alabama prompted authorities to arrest a 43-year-old man there and extradite him to Maine. He confessed to shooting Langway, saying the weapon discharged when he tripped, but a Penobscot County Superior Court jury found him guilty of murder and he was sentenced to forty years in prison.

Are there details about Langway’s life in Winterport or his movements that anyone can add to help complete the timeline?
