The teen was found dead behind Schenck High School in East Millinocket back in the summer of 1980. McLain went for a jog down a trail behind the school on the night of August 8, 1980. She never returned home.
Instead, police found McLain's body two days later. She was naked, her hands were tied, and she was beaten to death. Fournier wasn't charged with McLain's murder until March of 2016.

The defense re-called the detective who is currently in charge ot this case and got it to trial, Daryll Peary. It brought up the fact that a pair of size 38" men's underwear were found close to wear McLain's body was found, as well as a men's track suit.
Peary says the items were both sent to the lab, but nothing came back from them. The state also pointed out that the track suit was found on the soccer field, not down by the pole line -- which is where McLain was found.
The defense's last witness was not able to stand trial, so instead a transcript was read. Louis Michaud stated that he remembered another suspect, Gary Friel, allegedly threaten McLain shortly before she was killed. The testimony read Michaud had heard Friel say "I will kill you".
However, prosecutors quickly pointed out that Michaud didn't offer up that piece of information until he was interviewed by police the second time.
However the state pointed out this piece of what he heard was not reported to police until the second time he talked to them.
Closing arguments are expected to begin Monday morning. If Fournier is convicted he faces 25 years to life in prison.
