$10,000 Reward Offered For Information About 1993 Kittery Murder

The family of Maxine Bitomski is hoping new DNA evidence and a newly issued reward will inspire someone to come forward and bring some closure to the mysterious murder of their grandmother that took place over 30 years ago in Kittery.

Last month, Bitomski's grandchildren held a press conference with Maine State Police explaining that some recently discovered forensic evidence had turned up a new lead on a person of interest in the case, but that no charges had been brought in the unsolved homicide, as of yet.

Since then, an organization called Seacoast Crime Stoppers has offered up a $10,000 reward to anyone that has information about the Bitomski case that leads to an indictment and/or arrest of a suspect.
