1986 - Winthrop, Maine.  On a cool November night in 1986, an intruder entered the geodesic dome home of 34-year-old Brian Kowalczyk, firing multiple shots before stabbing the Snap-On Tools salesman to death and fleeing into the darkness. At the time, Brian’s wife was away in New York looking for their next home. Not only were the police stumped by the identity of the killer, but they also had no known motive for the crime. There was no forced entry. There was no robbery. Who wanted Brian dead? If you have any information on the murder of Brian Kowalcyzk, please contact the Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit Central at (207) 624-7143 or leave a tip online here.
