On March 24, 1977 31-year-old Norman Lee Mercier was working at the Adult Book Store that was located on Barre-Montpelier Rd. in Berlin, Vermont. He had been working and around 4:45 p.m. a commotion was heard from a neighboring store in the Twin City Shopping Plaza.
Around 5:40 a friend who worked at another store in the Plaza stopped by the store and found Norman lying behind the front door. He was still alive and attempting to talk. He was brought to the hospital but unfortunately died around 10 p.m.
The store seemed to look like it was ransacked. There was a table overturned and things were strewn across the floor. Blood was found at both the rear and front of the store. No one in the claimed to have heard the gunshot. It is unsure if robbery was motive as only $16 of almost $1,000 was stolen. There was evidence that the suspect spent a lot of time in the store.
