AUBURN – A month after the bodies of James E. Vining and John G. Graffam were found, police continue to seek their killer.
The Auburn men – Vining was 43, Graffam, 30 – were determined to be homicide victims by the state medical examiner. Each was found buried in a shallow grave in scrub woodlands off the dead end of Foss Road in Lewiston on Oct. 29.
On Monday, state police Sgt. Walter Grzyb, the chief investigator on the case, said progress was being made slowly.
Several detectives continue to investigate the crimes, interviewing people who knew the two men and working on various clues, he said.
Vining and Graffam had been missing roughly a month before their bodies were discovered, the first one by hunters on the opening day of Maine’s deer season, the second by police called to the scene to investigate the first death.
Grzyb said police have no suspect yet, but he expects police will be able to solve the case.
