The Murder of Michael T. Connolly (Maine)

PORTLAND, 1930: The early morning had been foggy and dark, and the high tide came in at 3:17 a.m. It was the perfect storm for a successful offloading of alcohol—if nobody noticed or got in the way. Had Officer Connolly found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time? Or did he know something was going to happen on the waterfront that morning? Had he tried to stop it?Like the waters of Casco Bay, the mystery and the uncertainty surrounding the death of patrolman Michael T. Connolly in the early morning hours of August 15th, 1930, is just as deep and open ended today as when it was a fresh case over ninety years ago.This episode was co-written with Noah Bonnell. View source material and photos for this episode at <a href="https://darkdowneast.com/michaelconnolly/">darkdowneast.com/michaelconnolly</a>Follow @darkdowneast on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/darkdowneast/">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/darkdowneast">Facebook</a>, and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@darkdowneast">TikTok</a>To suggest a case visit <a href="http://darkdowneast.com/submit-case">darkdowneast.com/submit-case</a>  Dark Downeast is an audiochuck and Kylie Media production hosted by Kylie Low.
