Forever Young: The Story of Rebecca Pelkey, Part One

1988 - Hermon, Maine. Inside the neon splashed walls of the Bangor Arcade, Erica and Melanie waited for their friend, 14-year-old Rebecca “Becky” Pelkey. Becky was late, and the clock was ticking. Not only was Becky no-showing, but so was her new friend, 24-year-old Ronald Boobar, who they’d hung out with the previous night. One week later, the newspaper released a description of an unidentified young woman who had been found dead in the woods. It was Becky. The day that she was identified, police spoke individually with her friends. They waited to talk to Ron last. In a quiet room, just after midnight, Ron Boobar sat at the Bangor Police dept with two detectives. They set up a cassette recording device on the table, and hit record…. This is the story of Becky Pelkey, told through her family, and original transcripts and court records. This is an MMIW case from Maine. Becky is part of the Aroostook Band of Mi'kmaqs, one of Maine’s Native tribes. By sharing her story, we are keeping her name alive and bringing awareness to the epidemic that is violence against Indigenous women and girls.
