Summary

1991 - Waterville, Maine. In November of 1991, police in Waterville, Maine arrived on the scene of a suspicious fire that was ablaze at a home in the middle of town. After the fire was controlled, two bodies were found inside, charred beyond recognition. They were later identified as 25-year-old Lorna Labbe Brackett, and 46-year-old Maynard Vincent White. Tests to the house confirmed that accelerants were present, and the deaths were ruled a homicide. Rumors start flying about their deaths possibly being linked to cocaine trafficking, and despite over 400 interviews for the case, nobody has been brought to justice for Lorna and Vincent's senseless deaths. This is the story of Lorna Brackett and Vincent White.
