On the morning of October 6, 2023, 30-year-old Kylee Ann Turcotte of Lisbon, Maine, was found dead in the driver’s seat of a vehicle on Main Street after firefighters at the Lisbon Falls Fire Station heard a woman’s scream around 7 a.m. First responders arriving on scene saw a man exit the vehicle and shoot himself in the head; he was later identified as 38-year-old Benjamin Peterson of Pittston. An autopsy by the Office of Chief Medical Examiner in Augusta ruled Turcotte’s death a homicide.

Peterson was taken to Central Maine Medical Center in critical condition and died later that same day at 10:22 p.m. State police identified him as the suspect, and authorities described the incident as a murder-suicide, closing a section of Main Street for several hours while Maine State Police and Lisbon Police detectives processed the scene. If anyone has information about Kylee, her movements that morning, or the relationship between Turcotte and Peterson, please share what you know.
