MONTICELLO, Maine (TCD) -- Police arrested a 39-year-old man on suspicion of killing his 42-year-old live-in girlfriend, whose body was found in a wooded area.
According to Maine State Police, on Sunday, June 18, Kimberly Hardy’s mother reported her missing after she had not been seen since Friday, June 16, at her home in New Limerick. Maine State Police Troop F, Computer Crimes Unit, Maine Warden Service, and Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit North started searching for Hardy after receiving the missing person call.
The Houlton Police Department noted that Hardy was undergoing cancer treatments, which were "supposed to be ongoing."
