In September 2006, the peaceful Black Bear Bed & Breakfast in Newry, Maine became the scene of one of the state’s most shocking murder cases.
Christian Charles Nielsen, a cook who had been living at the inn, killed four people over Labor Day weekend: inn owner Julie Bullard, handyman James “Jimmy” Whitehurst, Julie’s daughter Selby Bullard, and Selby’s friend Cynthia “Cindy” Beatson.
The first murder happened during what was supposed to be a fishing trip in Upton, Maine. The remaining murders took place at the Black Bear B&B. Nielsen later confessed, but investigators were left with one haunting question: why?
This week on Hitched 2 Homicide, we cover the Christian Nielsen murders, the victims’ relationships, Julie Bullard’s dream of starting over in Maine, and the brutal aftermath of the Black Bear Bed & Breakfast case.
