1946 - Brockton, Massachusetts. On the morning of December 28, 1946, the Brockton, Massachusetts police arrived at a crime scene that would soon captivate the region. The press called it the Christmas Tree Murder-the brutal killing of 35-year-old Rene Cote. Rene had no shortage of enemies. Among them was a so-called friend now sitting in jail, charged with his murder. Yet, investigators felt they were missing key pieces of the story. Rene's wife, Bertha Surprise Cote, whose beauty had captured the attention of the public, kept changing her account of what happened that night. Was she protecting a man she secretly loved from the death penalty? Or was she hiding something far more sinister? This is part two of the “Christmas Tree” murder of Rene Cote, a case that led to one of the most sensational trials in Massachusetts history.

1946 - Brockton, Massachusetts. In the early morning hours of December 28, 1946, Brockton Police were called to a grisly scene at the Cote family apartment: Beside an overturned Christmas tree, amid shattered ornaments and tinsel, lay the bloodied body of 35-year-old Rene Cote. His wife, Bertha Surprise Cote, claimed that two men had broken in and brutally beaten her husband to death. The police couldn’t overlook the couple’s turbulent history—marked by infidelity, crime, and violent disputes—but Rene’s reputation had earned him no shortage of enemies. The list of potential suspects seemed endless. Just when investigators believed they’d identified the perpetrator, a cold-blooded killer surfaced—hidden in plain sight. ***Part 2 of 2 will be released on December 17th*** Episode sources and photos: Check back later today for blog post!

August 23, 1987. Saline County Arkansas. 16-year old Don Henry and 17-year old Kevin Ives head into the woods to do some late-night hunting, but never return. Hours later, the two boys are seen lying on some railroad tracks before they are run over by a cargo train and the medical examiner concludes they had fallen asleep after smoking marijuana and their deaths were accidental. However, Don and Kevin’s families push for a new investigation, which uncovers evidence that they were violently attacked before their bodies were placed on the tracks. Throughout the years, a number of conspiracy theories emerge to suggest the boys were murdered as part of a cover-up involving drug trafficking, but no one is ever charged with the crime.

1975 - Washington, Maine. On a chilly November morning, just two days before Thanksgiving in 1975, 25-year-old Ludger Belanger kissed his wife, Linda, goodbye, and ventured into the snowy woods of rural Maine in search of a buck. He never returned. A devoted father of three young children, Ludger wasn’t the kind of man to abandon his family—Linda knew that much for certain. As game wardens traced the tracks he left behind, clues emerged, weaving a haunting narrative of what may have happened that morning. The clues also pointed to two men who knew the truth, and told a story much louder than the silence of those who tried to keep it hidden. This holiday season marks 49 years since Ludger’s disappearance, yet his family has never stopped searching. This is the story of the disappearance of Ludger Belanger. If you have information on the disappearance of Ludger Belanger, please contact the Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit Central at (207) 624-7143 or toll free at 1800-452-4664.

1982 - Florida, Massachusetts. On a rainy Saturday evening in April 1982, 18-year-old Lynn Burdick was working alone at the Barefoot Peddlar, a small country store in the Berkshires. By the end of her shift, she had vanished—along with the cash in the register. Known for her reliability, Lynn’s disappearance immediately raised alarms. Less than an hour before she went missing, just 14 miles away at Williams College, a man attempted to kidnap a student in his car.

1951 - Brunswick, Maine. Police heard the woman’s screams before they even reached the door. They were responding to a late night break-in at the apartment of 56-year-old Lancelot Cooper, a prominent figure in the community. When they stepped inside, they found his wife, 45-year-old Eva Cooper, nude on the living room floor with a scarf over her head and her hands bound behind her back. Inside the bedroom, they found a bloody and violent scene. It was clear from the attack that somebody wanted Lance dead, and as the details of that frigid January night became clearer to police, an obvious suspect emerged into focus.

1989 - Dunbarton, New Hampshire. In November of 1989, 14-year-old Sonya Moore disappeared. At first, her mother thought it was typical Sonya behavior. After all, the teenager had a habit of staying out late and skipping school. But when Sonya missed an important appointment, her mother sensed something was wrong. Despite her daughter’s independence, she always knew where Sonya was. As days turned into weeks, Sonya’s friends held onto the hope that she was somewhere warm, chasing her dream of becoming a model. But deep down, they knew something was wrong. Sonya wouldn’t just vanish without telling someone. Then, in the spring, a badly decomposed body was discovered in Stark Pond. The girl was wearing an arrowhead necklace and a Hampton Beach shirt—just like the ones Sonya Moore was last seen wearing.

2019 - Manchester, NH On December 31st, 2021, the Manchester, NH police went to the media with an alarming press release: a 7-year-old girl named Harmony Montgomery was missing, and she hadn't been seen in 2 years.

2004 - Northport, Maine. Something about 28-year-old Jeremy Alex was different. He wasn’t his usual free-spirited self—lately, he’d been acting more and more paranoid that bad guys were coming after him.

Despite trying to calm him, Jeremy ran off into the thick Maine forest, never to be seen again. The truth of what happened that night is just as bizarre and murky as it was in 2004.

1987 - Roxbury, Massachusetts. It was Labor Day weekend in 1987. 19-year-old Dora Brimage was celebrating her friend’s birthday when she got into a car to head to a club called Joe’s Jaguar. She never came home. Her body was found the following morning at a construction site when the workers showed up for their shift. For years, Dora’s case sat unnoticed in a pile of Boston’s unsolved crimes. It hadn’t gotten much coverage when it first happened, and it all but seemed like Dora had faded into history.

1968 - Huntington Beach, California. Anita Piteau dreamed of getting out of Augusta, Maine. As a teenager, she’d been committed to the Maine Industrial School for Girls; a reform school that aimed to turn rebellious, troubled, and misfit girls in promising young women. When she left the school, Anita was far from reformed. If anything, she was more determined than ever to live her life on her own terms. In December of 1967, Anita packed up and went to California in search of adventure. But a few months later, her family suddenly stopped hearing from her, and nobody could get in touch. Anita was a free spirit, but she’d never just cut off her family like this. Did something terrible happen to Anita Piteau? Or was she just caught up in her newfound freedom and life in a new city? ***Part 2 will be released on March 13th*** See photos and sources: https://murdershetold.com/episodes/anita-piteau Support Murder, She Told: https://www.murdershetold.com/support Instagram: @murdershetoldpodcast TikTok: @murdershetold Facebook: /mstpodcast Website: murdershetold.com ----- Sponsors: Apostrophe Skincare - Go to https://apostrophe.com/shetold and use code SHETOLD at sign up to get your first visit for only $5.

1971 - Farmington, Maine. When 15-year-old Judith Hand went missing after failing to report to her after-school babysitting job on September 10, 1971, the Farmington Police told her family she’d be back. Her family wasn’t convinced. They knew something was wrong. Judy was extremely responsible, and wouldn’t just skip out on her job let alone not come home. Thirteen days later, Judy's body was found buried in a decaying sawdust pile at an abandoned mill. Though her cause of death was undetermined, there was no question the baby-faced teen had been murdered. While the agonizing search for Judy had ended, the hunt for her killer had only just begun. The murder of Judy Hand remains unsolved. If you have any information, please contact the Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit-South at (207) 624-7076 X9, or toll free at 1-800-228-0857.

2010 - Gilford, New Hampshire. Sometime in the evening hours of October 31, 2010, somebody shot and killed 54-year-old Roberta Miller (who went by Bobbie) and her dog, Scout, in her home in Gilford, NH. According to her brother, it seemed like a personal attack or something professionally done. Bobbie had recently moved into the home after finalizing her divorce—a bitter battle that spanned over 3 years. She was attending college to earn a business degree, going on dates, and was looking forward to an independent future. Bobbie’s family is frustrated with the lack of updates and progress, and they’re not afraid to speak out. On the surface, the answer seems clear. But as deeper layers of this case are pulled back, a cascade of questions and mystery are revealed, leaving room for doubt.

1988 - Lawrence, Massachusetts On the afternoon of September, 12, 1988, a railyard worker for B&M Railroad in Lawrence, MA made a horrifying discovery on the tracks: the body of 11-year-old Melissa Ann Tremblay who was missing from Salem, NH. Investigators quickly realized this was no train accident—that something more sinister happened to the young girl—and the killer tried to cover up his crime by staging the gruesome scene. For decades the case was cold… until April of 2022, when a former corrections officer was arrested at his home in Alabama. Marvin “Skip” McClendon, Jr went to trial in December 2023… But did investigators get the right man? *blog with sources and photos will be available later today* Support Murder, She Told: https://www.murdershetold.com/support Learn more: murdershetold.com ----- Instagram: @murdershetoldpodcast Facebook: /mstpodcast TikTok: @murdershetold ----- Sponsors: Honeylove: Get 20% off your order by going to honeylove.com/SHETOLD or using code SHETOLD.
