BANGOR, ME— Thirty years ago a tourist staying at the Asticou Inn discovered a body in the hotel's gardens. The victim was later identified as Leslie Spellman, 26, a yoga instructor from Hingham, MA. According to the county medical examiner, she had been bludgeoned to death, but not sexually assaulted. Authorities are now taking another look at the case to see if they can find new clues to the killer's identity. Some experts believe James Rodney Hicks is responsible for the murder. In 2000, Hicks confessed to the murder of his wife, his children's babysitter, and a girlfriend. The FBI classified Hicks as a serial killer. Investigators refuse to comment on whether they consider Hicks a suspect in Leslie's murder. The investigation into her death continues.
