BANGOR (AP) – State police are investigating a mysterious 911 call in Aroostook County earlier this week from a woman who said she feared for her life.
Police received the call Tuesday night over the emergency line from the unidentified woman who asked for police assistance before the line went dead.
The call sent state police to the home of Collen Nadeau in Allagash. There was no woman there when police arrived, but police arrested Nadeau at the scene on weapons and drug charges.
Nadeau, 52, remained at the Aroostook County Jail on Thursday on charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm, cultivation of marijuana and possession of cocaine.
State police Sgt. David McPherson said investigators were looking for help from the public in finding the woman who made the 911 call.
“I think he is going to kill me. Could you please get over here? Oh, my God, Collen, don’t,” the woman said before the emergency line went dead, according to police.
The 911 system traced the call to the home at 141 Inn Road, also known as Michaud Farm Road, where Nadeau was arrested. Police found the telephone line to the home had been cut when they arrived.
McPherson said police are trying to identify who made the call, “and we have little to go on.” He said Nadeau “denies knowledge of any woman being at his home” when the call was made.
Police said the call was not made by Nadeau’s former wife, Caroline Nadeau, who lives at another residence.
Collen Nadeau, a former logger who later started a computer business, has a criminal record that includes marijuana cultivation, violating a protective order, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and assault. He has also served on a variety of civic and church boards in the Eagle Lake area.
