Deaths In Acadia National Park;
June 1977
27 year old yoga instructor Leslie Spellman had hitchhiked with her sister from their home in Massachusetts to Vermont. From Vermont the two parted ways as Leslie continued to make her way to Acadia national Park for a backpacking trip, along with her dog. The following day at around 9;45 a.m., a group of tourists discovered her body laid out in the tranquil Asticou Azalea Gardens in Northeast Harbor, a location better known for its peacefulness and beauty. It was determined she had been dead for several hours, killed from a number of blows to the head from a blunt instrument.
It was reported that there was no evidence of sexual assault. Authorities suspected that her murder may of been the work of a serial killer who had killed a number of victims in a similar manner in Connecticut in the late 1970's. The murder of the young woman remains unsolved to this day.
