The cold case clings to Route 123 like November fog. Forty-two years. Forty-two years since Andrew Dabbs allegedly turned a Sunday drive into a graveyard shift, ejecting his girlfriend onto the shoulder of a Massachusetts highway after putting a .45 caliber bullet in her chest. The Bristol Superior Court slapped a murder warrant on him back in ‘81, but Dabbs? He vanished. Became a ghost haunting the backroads of memory, a phantom the FBI still chases.
Dabbs, born in Virginia in ‘42, is a man built like a mechanic – five-ten, around 180 pounds. They say time grays the hair, and if he’s still breathing, that once dark hair is likely salt and pepper now. Look for a mole on his nose, a scar tracing a line on one arm, and the patchwork of skin grafts on his leg, souvenirs from an old burn. He’s a man who carries his history on his skin, a history now steeped in the accusation of murder. The feds warn: consider him armed and dangerous. A man who already silenced one life isn’t likely to go quietly.
The trail’s gone cold more times than a New England winter, but Dabbs has left whispers across the country. Derry, New Hampshire, was his last known address, but he’s got tendrils reaching out to Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, even as far west as Colorado and Indiana. A drifter, a grease monkey, and according to reports, a man not averse to drugs. He knew how to disappear, to blend into the anonymous rhythm of the road. The kind of guy who could be fixing your car one day and halfway across the country the next.
The years haven’t diminished the need for justice, or the gravity of the charge. The FBI is offering a substantial reward – up to $20,000 – for information leading to Andrew P. Dabbs’s capture. Twenty thousand dollars for a name, a location, a glimpse of a face that’s haunted the files for decades. It’s a hefty sum, but a small price to pay for closure for a family robbed of a loved one.
He’s out there. Somewhere. A man living under the weight of a decades-old accusation, or a man reinvented, hiding in plain sight. If you have any information, no matter how small, regarding the whereabouts of Andrew P. Dabbs, contact the FBI immediately. Don’t wait. This ghost needs to be brought to ground.
