Ludger Belanger: Missing in Maine - Murder, She Told

What this episode covers

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. Though on the surface it seemed like he vanished without a trace, tracks in the snow led investigators to a crucial piece of evidence and into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse with two men who might know exactly where to find him. 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.
