NEW GLOUCESTER – State and Lewiston police late last night arrested a Lewiston man and charged him with murder in connection with the death of a Lewiston woman missing since July.

Buddy Robinson, 30, was arrested about 11:30 p.m. at the home of his girlfriend, on the Gloucester Road in New Gloucester, according to a press release from the Department of Public Safety. He was taken to the Androscoggin County Jail and will make his first court appearance at 2:30 this afternoon in Androscoggin Superior Court.

Robinson is charged with the death of 22-year-old Christiana Fesmire, who disappeared July 1. Her body has not been recovered. Both were, at one time, residents of a two-unit apartment house on Highland Ave., in Lewiston, where police say Fesmire was killed and her body transported elsewhere.

Police searched the apartment house in September and evidence from the building was analyzed at the Maine State Police crime lab. The evidence led investigators to conclude Fesmire was killed inside the building, the release said.

Robinson has been employed at a call center in Lewiston.
