Investigators with the Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit have completed their search for evidence at the home of a registered sex offender whose body reportedly was hidden in his Macwahoc Road home by a man who later committed suicide during a standoff on Interstate 95. What evidence was removed from the home of the late Lawrence J. Lewis, 68, is not being released, and the cause of his death is still pending, Maine Department of Public Safety spokesman Stephen McCausland said Thursday morning. The medical examiner has determined it was a homicide. "I do not expect, at this point, any new information to be released," McCausland said. "This is going to be a lengthy and complicated investigation." Lewis' body was taken to the medical examiner's office in Augusta for an autopsy, which has been delayed by the need for additional testing.

A man who committed suicide on Interstate 95 on March 11 told police during the standoff leading up to his death that he killed Lawrence Lewis of Molunkus Township because the convicted sex offender was molesting children, court documents show. Bruce Neal, aka Bruce King, told Penobscot County Sheriff's Deputy Patty McLaughlin shortly before he shot himself with a .30-30 rifle that he forced Lewis to swallow two bottles of nitroglycerin and one bottle of "psych meds," according to a search warrant affidavit released Wednesday at Lincoln District Court. "King told Deputy McLaughlin that he killed Lawrence Lewis. King said he had reported Lewis for molesting children and no one was doing anything," the affidavit states.
