Maine Cold Case: $10K Reward in 2008 Slaying

Fifteen years ago, Frank A. Williams, a 37-year-old father of two, was beaten and stabbed to death at the Fox Street soccer field in Portland, Maine’s Kennedy Park neighborhood. The case has gone cold, but the FBI isn’t letting it rest. Now, they’re offering a $10,000 reward for information that cracks this brutal 2008 homicide.

Williams suffered multiple wounds, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide. The FBI’s Southern Maine Gang Task Force, working alongside Portland Police, believes witnesses were present that night – people who saw *something*. They’re the key, and the feds are betting a ten grand reward will loosen some tongues.

Acting Special Agent in Charge Christopher DiMenna, of the FBI Boston Division, made it clear: they’re committed to solving this case and bringing those responsible to account. But after 15 years, the trail has gone cold. The reward isn’t just about money; it’s a desperate plea to anyone who’s been holding back information.

Portland Police Chief Mark Dubois echoed the sentiment, expressing gratitude for the FBI’s continued support. He hopes the reward will finally give the Williams family the closure they deserve. Fifteen years is a long time to live with unanswered questions, and the weight of this unsolved crime hangs heavy over the community.

Investigators are focusing on the fact that a large group of people were reportedly at the soccer field the night of the murder. Someone saw something, someone knows something. The feds aren’t interested in speculation; they want concrete information leading to an arrest and conviction. This isn’t a plea for help; it’s a demand for accountability.

If you have *any* information, no matter how small it may seem, regarding the murder of Frank A. Williams, contact the FBI or the Portland Police Department immediately. Don’t wait another 15 years. The reward is substantial, but more importantly, a family deserves answers and a killer deserves to be behind bars.
