No, we'd notice the missing people.
Though we do lose a few people each year, we tend to notice when they're gone. We find 'em in the woods years later, in the spring after the ice melts, down near the ocean where the rivers go, etc...
Those people are just people unaware of the dangers of being remote and with unruly weather, there's seldom anything more to it.
We get a few murders a year, but not all that many. They say 30% of all murders go unsolved, but we seem to solve 'em pretty damned quick in Maine.
yeah I would think most murders are domestic violence in that area
They tend to be. Back before pot was fully legal, some dude shot and killed someone who was stealing his plants. He got away with it. I think they charged him initially and then dropped the charges, as memory serves.
Damn, he's lucky. Nobody else is going to steal his plants
