Maine man arrested over cold case after telling mom
Police said Friday that the investigation is still not over, but they believe they have determined Fournier is responsible for the death, and he is the only person who has been charged. Authorities hope the arrest can help McLain's mother, Pamela McLain, get justice for her daughter.
"We are pleased we have been able to bring closure for Pam McLain. She has lived a nightmare," said police spokesman Steve McCausland. "The entire region has been dealing with this death for 3 1/2 decades."
Homicide detectives had interviewed Fournier 22 times since 1980, according to the complaint filed by Detective Thomas Pickering. In the complaint, Pickering said Fournier kept changing his story, at times saying he witnessed others abduct McLain or that he was forced to participate in the abduction.

Good thing there is no statute of limitations for murder.
