On June 6, 2011, 30-year-old Sarah K. Ladabour Gordon was shot to death outside her home on Marie Street in Winslow, Maine, after making a 911 call reporting that her husband threatened to kill her. The 911 call captured him telling her to hang up, and the shooting happened shortly afterward as Nathaniel Gordon, 32, chased her across the street and fired multiple times with a handgun.

The couple’s two children, then aged eight and nine, witnessed the attack from a window. Nathaniel fled in Sarah’s car, prompting a pursuit along the Maine Turnpike that ended in Gray when spike mats disabled his vehicle; after the car hit a guardrail he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The state medical examiner ruled the incident a murder-suicide.

Family members told investigators the couple argued frequently, though there had been no prior police calls to their residence. A dispatch error initially sent officers to the wrong address, delaying the response. Sarah had worked as a medical assistant; Nathaniel was a Maine National Guardsman who had served in Iraq.

If anyone knew Sarah or the family and can add context about the relationship or the events that night, please share what is known.
