Best Friend in Maine

She testified before a federal grand jury in Boston in 2010, giving details consistent with what she originally told Geoff Kelly, the FBI’s lead agent on the case, and Anthony Amore, the museum’s security chief, at her home in Maine.

But what was apparently never told to the grand jury - or Kelly and Amore - was an account given me by Guarente’s best friend in Maine, Earle E. Berghman.

…

Berghman, as it turns out, knew Guarente well. While he says they got to know each other hanging out and hunting in the woods surrounding their homes in central Maine, the state police had their eyes on them and other associations. According to Maine state police reports, the pair were under investigation for interstate drug trafficking in 1991.
