Maine Unsolved: Mary Ellen Tanner, Part Two

from Murder, She Told Hosted by Kristen Seavey | Daylight Media

1978 - Kennebunk, Maine. On a muggy Sunday afternoon in July of 1978, 18-year-old Mary Tanner was discovered in a field in Lyman, Maine. She had been beaten to death. Two nights earlier, on July 7, 1978, Mary attended several parties around town to celebrate Kennebunk’s local festival. She was last seen hitching a ride on the Mousam River Bridge in Kennebunk around 11pm. What happened after that has remained a mystery for the past 45 years. Mary had a lot of love to give, and today—more than ever—her friends and family want to make sure that despite the lack of progress in her case, Mary Ellen Tanner will not be forgotten.
