Murder of Louis Alexander and Joseph Savitch

Louis Alexander and Joseph Savitch   


In 1994 60-year-old Louis Alexander and 59-year-old Joseph Savitch were reported missing. Their bodies were later found in August of 1997 in a wooded area of Masardis, Maine. It was determined that they were murdered.

Joseph was a boxer in his youth and was previously charged with several assaults. In 1987 Joseph was 1 of 10 people indicted in connection with a plot of smuggling $5 Million worth of Marijuana on a senior citizen bus.

Louis also had a criminal history. In 1972 he attempted to rob a post office and was shot in the process. After he was hospitalized he bailed, but was caught again on the run. In 1990 he did pay for the $5,000 bail of a man charged in cocaine dealing. The man skipped on the bail though and

In 1993 the two were arrested in Old Saybrook, Connecticut after an attempted housebreak in that community. At the time of their disappearance, the two were wanted for a string of burglaries in Aroostook County. They did rip off a lot of people for a considerable amount of money. It isn't stated whether or not police believe that their criminal history is why they were killed.
