The Murder of Beverly Polchies (Maine)

UNSOLVED MAINE MURDER: Just before 10 p.m. on the night of October 13, 1984, an unknown man pulled into the emergency room drop-off at Eastern Maine Medical Center. The man didn’t identify himself, or the badly injured woman sitting in his front seat. The driver told hospital staff that she was hit by a car. As they placed the woman in a wheelchair and brought her inside, the driver sped off without another word. Within minutes, the injured woman succumbed to her injuries. She died there at the hospital, nameless and alone. Today, we know her name, but nearly 37 years later we still don’t know the truth about what happened to her.
