Discovery of Alicia Balderston’s Remains
On October 17, 2024, law enforcement officials made a grim discovery in a wooded area of Thompson. The spot sits not far from the Massachusetts border and you can see Interstate 395 from there.
The skeletal remains they recovered belonged to Alicia Balderston. Her disappearance had left both local and state police searching for answers for almost a year.
For people in northeastern Connecticut — Norwich, Putnam, and everywhere in between — the news brought a tragic end to a long search.
From Missing Person to Crime Scene
Balderston’s case had stayed open since late in the previous year. Police efforts stretched into several towns, including Windham and Killingly.
Authorities finally got a break when they linked her to a 44-year-old man from Plainfield. He admitted he’d been with her on the day she died.
The Suspect’s Account
According to the arrest warrant, the man said Alicia was in a hotel room he’d rented for her.
