- Autopsies confirm the bodies found in a wooded area in Eden, Vermont are those of Jahim Solomon and Eric White, the missing 21-year-old men from Massachusetts. Solomon suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the head, while White was killed by a single gunshot wound to the head.
- Solomon and White were reported missing on October 15 after they lost contact with their families for several days. They had previously been in Burlington, Lowell, Morrisville, and Stowe.
- Vermont State Police Major Dan Trudeau said the police have several suspects and persons of interest but are yet to make any arrests. The investigation relies significantly on public tips and information from the northern Vermont community.
- Although the offenders' motive is currently unclear, and the victims' activities in Vermont remain unknown, police suspect that Solomon and White disappeared under 'suspicious circumstances' in several communities. Major Trudeau revealed that there are people they haven't been able to locate, suggesting that they might have fled or are simply difficult to find.
- Despite the ongoing investigation, authorities assure the public that this was an isolated incident and does not pose any additional threat. The bodies were found almost a mile apart, hinting to the complexity of the case investigation.
