1981
 
Percy Sargent was never interviewed by Det. Barry Shuman or Det. Ralph Pinkham. After they retired Det. Gerald Coleman was assigned Mike's case in 2002, 21 years later.  He immediately started tracking Cormier and was instrumental in putting Cormier - (half brother to Paul Pollard) back behind bars for armed robberies.  He told me in no uncertain terms that he was going to solve Mike's murder because he knew Cormier, Pollard and Percy Sargent killed Mike but he left the detective department in 2011 and went to work as security guard for the Governor of Maine. I believe he learned what the State of Maine is covering up in Mike's murder and knew he wasn't going to solve it. He is a good man and I will always be thankful to him for investigating Lionel Cormier and putting him back behind bars where he died in 2009.
