Joseph Savitch Jr., a 58-year-old Caucasian man also known as Joe the Animal, vanished in 1994 along with associate Louis Alexander, nicknamed Miami Beach Louie. Both men were from the Fall River area of Massachusetts and were last known while facing indictment for a string of burglaries across Aroostook County that investigators believed had yielded about $1 million in cash and property.

On August 15, 1997, a bear hunter found a shallow grave in a wooded area of Masardis, Maine, containing the remains of both men. The Maine State Police determined both Savitch and Alexander had been shot to death, and the disappearances were reclassified as a double homicide. Speculation linked the killings to a professional, mob-style execution, but investigators have not confirmed that theory.

No suspects have been publicly named and no arrests have been announced. Does anyone have information about Savitch, Alexander, their movements in 1994, or contacts who might shed light on what happened?
