Deputy police chief will discuss book

LEWISTON – Deputy Chief Joseph K. Loughlin of the Portland Police Department, co-author of the book “Finding Amy: A True Story of a Murder in Maine,” will visit USM’s Lewiston-Auburn campus Tuesday, March 13.

He will give a presentation, answer questions and sign copies of his book. The event, free and open to the public, will take place between 6:30 and 8 p.m. in USM/L-A’s room 170. The campus is at 51 Westminster St.

“Finding Amy,” which Loughlin co-wrote with author Kate Clark Flora, is a firsthand account of the murder of Amy St. Laurent and the subsequent investigation. St. Laurent was a 25-year-old South Berwick woman who disappeared in October 2001, after an evening spent with friends in Portland’s Old Port.

Her disappearance set off an intense search that captured statewide attention. Police found St. Laurent’s body in December 2001, in a shallow grave in Scarborough woods. Jeffery Gorman was arrested and later convicted of the murder. He was sentenced to 60 years in prison.

The Mystery Writers of America has nominated “Finding Amy” for an Edgar Award.
