The Contentious Death of Mark Dugas, Part One

2004 - Waldoboro, Maine. 39-year-old Mark Dugas, a loving father, was stabbed with a kitchen knife in June of 2004, during a heated altercation with his wife, Amy Dugas. He ran to a neighbor for help, but tragically died before first responders arrived. As news of Amy’s murder charges spread, Mark’s family and friends were determined to bring the truth to light: that Mark's death was the result of escalating domestic violence. The community grappled with the fact that a petite woman like Amy could be the aggressor, triggering a conversation state wide about how we look at relationship violence from all angles. Prosecutors sought to prove this murder was intentional after Mark told Amy that he was leaving her. Amy’s defense team said she acted in self-defense. But the state had its star witness. The only other person who was present during the deadly fight… and they hoped his testimony could help set the record straight: Amy’s 8-year-old son. This is part 1 of 2 of Mark Dugas’ story.
