In the early morning of November 18, 1991, an intentionally set fire at 7 Reservoir Street in Waterville, Maine, killed 25-year-old Lorna Brackett and 46-year-old Vincent White. Neighbors reported loud voices and what sounded like fireworks or gunshots at about 3:17 a.m.; Waterville police checked the address then and found it quiet. At 5:35 a.m. a loud explosion announced the blaze that consumed the house. Autopsies showed both victims died of smoke inhalation, and investigators found no other physical trauma on their bodies, leaving unanswered how they were unable to escape.
Maine State Police and the State Fire Marshal concluded the fire was arson. Hundreds of interviews have been conducted over the years and the case was at one point linked to a cocaine trafficking probe, but no arrests or publicly identified motive have been reported. Does anyone have information about Lorna, Vincent, or activity around Reservoir Street that night?
