Show Notes
1958 - Lewiston, Maine.
In July of 1958, ten police officers in Lewiston, Maine found themselves in a 30-minute standoff with an armed shooter in the woods just off a road in nearby Sabattus. Trying to de-escalate the situation, Police Officer Paul J. Simard stepped forward, talking with the shooter to drop their weapon.
But the shooter didn't back down. A shot rang out, hitting Officer Simard and killing him.
When the standoff finally came to a head, the shooter agreed to surrender... and out from the behind a bush stepped the deadly shooter... a 14-year-old girl named Sandra Knowlton.
