Dark Valley
Chapter 17 | A Father's Tale

Before Heidi's death, Barry worked for Vermont Log, a cabin building company just down the road from his house. But after that, he worked for the state of Vermont plowing the roads between White River Junction and Hartford. And you might recall that there was a ton of speculation that Agnew's killer may have operated a snowplow.

It came up when Paul Oakes was considered a suspect, because he drove a tow truck, or wrecker. But as Steve McCullough recalled, Oakes' wrecker was painted green. And it's a little silly how much work it took to hunt down this information, but according to the Vermont Agency of Transportation, state-issued snowplows in the 1980s were painted orange, sometimes with black trim.

They didn't have any information in the archives about specific snowplow routes or personnel assigned to these routes back in the 80s. So there's no physical evidence to support that Agnew's car was hit by a snowplow, despite it making sense that her vehicle was abandoned in a snowstorm.

And following that logic, there's no other physical evidence available to me that makes Barry a good suspect in the Agnew or Borowski cases. Likewise, beyond living in the area, there's absolutely no link I can find between Barry Martin and the Critchley, Quirmash, Freed, Morse, Moore, or indeed Jessica Briggs case.

Chapter 17 | A Father's Tale

Short of forensic evidence saying otherwise, I don't think Barry Martin is a good suspect for the Connecticut River Valley Killer. What about Heidi? I really don't know what to think. Everyone I interviewed said they suspected something was going on at home, but no one knew what it was exactly. Many said they got the creeps from Barry and shared stories.

Chapter 17 | A Father's Tale

Like there was one where Barry was shooting his gun in the backyard and he saw this woman riding a horse along the ridge. He took a shot and spooked the horse. The horse threw the woman and she was injured, but thankfully not seriously. But who does that? Megan was right. He has a real mean streak in him. But what do all these feelings and stories and facts amount to?

There's no smoking gun, or bloody knife for that matter. I will say that my gut feeling after years of looking into him is that Barry's a bad guy. But he didn't murder his daughter, or anyone else for that matter. I stand to be corrected.

Chapter 17 | A Father's Tale

Just as I was tying up my investigation into Heidi's case, and kind of lamenting that I was no closer to finding a good suspect than I was when I first started, something miraculous happened. I'm going to tell you exactly how it happened. It's going to feel terribly disjointed. But this is real life, and not a mystery novel.

I can't tell you how, but I gained access to the case file for Linda Moore. Linda Moore, as you might remember, is kind of an outlier. She was murdered in her home near Westminster, Vermont. I had always been on the fence about Linda's case and its connection to the others. What I discovered in her file is nothing short of astounding.

On April 15th, 1986, there was a man who put himself at Linda Moore's house at the time of her death. I'm no longer on the fence. Linda's case is connected. And I think I might have found the Connecticut River Valley killer. Next week on Dark Valley, the best suspect yet.
