Dexter, Maine lost two lives on December 3, 1999, when 20-year-old Mindy Elizabeth Angel Gould and 21-month-old Treven Jacob Cunningham were found shot once in the head in the home Mindy shared with her sister. Mindy’s older sister Melanie Bragg discovered the bodies after returning home from work; both killings were described as execution-style. Mindy had recently moved back to Dexter to escape a troubled relationship and had obtained a yearlong restraining order against her 36-year-old ex-boyfriend Jeffrey Cookson on November 30, 1999, alleging harassment and stalking.

Cookson was arrested on December 17, 1999, charged with two counts of murder, and later convicted; investigators linked 9mm shell casings from the scene to a handgun traced to him via the person who sold the gun. Appeals and a later recanted confession by another man were pursued after the conviction.

Did anyone in Dexter at the time see Cookson near the Gould home in early December 1999 or have other information about Mindy’s situation before the attack?
