Perley Glenwood Goodrich Sr., 76, was shot and killed at his Newport, Maine, home on October 26, 2009. His son, Perley Goodrich Jr., then 45, also pistol-whipped his wife, Sandra Goodrich, 64, during the same incident before fleeing on foot into nearby woods. A four-day search ended when Goodrich Jr. was located and arrested at a local truck stop.

Goodrich Jr. was indicted on murder and aggravated assault charges. At trial his defense cited a history of severe mental illness and argued he was not criminally responsible; jurors determined he was sane. He was acquitted of murder but convicted of manslaughter and aggravated assault and in May 2011 received a 15-year sentence with all but eight years suspended, followed by four years of probation. An appeal to the state’s highest court was later rejected.

Anyone with memories of the Goodrich family or information about that October 2009 incident is asked to come forward.
