On December 3, 1999, in Dexter, Maine, two people were found dead inside a Church Street home: 2-year-old Treven Cunnington and 20-year-old Mindy Gould. Both victims were discovered lying face down on a bed with pillows placed over their heads and had each suffered a single gunshot wound to the head fired through the pillows.

Police focused on 36-year-old Jeffrey Cookson, the ex-boyfriend of Gould; Gould had recently obtained a restraining order against him. Authorities arrested Cookson at his parents’ home in Guilford on December 18, 1999, and charged him with two counts of murder. Investigators linked shell casings from the scene to a 9 mm handgun model that Cookson was known to possess, though the actual weapon was not recovered at trial. The defense said Cookson was sleeping on his brother’s couch when the killings occurred; a jury found him guilty on both counts in December 2001.

Does anyone have memories of Treven or Mindy, or information about the case that could shed more light on what happened?
