A great friend of Jamaica and owner of Jamaica Heights Resort in Portland was murdered a couple of years ago. Was anybody ever charged and convicted?
We too have been wondering the same thing...

Just this week myself and a friend were talking about helmut .. as far as we know, nothing was solved.
thanks Dorothee..i sent you an email
I talked to a friend in PA today. I don't think anything was resolved.
I know Rich..I doubt it ever will be resolved. Thats ok...what goes around will certainly come around. And the ONE that judges will never forget..
They've apparently arrested his wife after her cousin confessed. I heard today
Can this rumor be confirmed?

I stayed in Jamaica Heights a few times and got to know Helmut and Charmaine quite well.
When I heard about what happened I was deeply saddened.
I just hope justice is served and that his three kids are well.
Yes this is confirmed. Charmaine did get convicted of the murder and so did someone else alog with her though I dont know if this was her cousin. She had, years before, set the house on fire after finding out he had an infidelity so she did have unstable rage there, though nobody thought she would go to these extreems.
Was Charmaine a Jamaican?
Yes she is. I wonder what her sentance was and what happened to their beautiful children.
Perhaps someone can continue doing some research and post.
What is the latest please. Helmut was a good friend of mine!!!!
He was so kind and loving, it is hard to believe that this has happened to him. God bless his beautiful children. Does anyone know where they are???
Not only on christmas eve we're still thinking of Helmut - and we're so sad about what happened.
Last thing I knew about his daughter that she was in Berlin, going to school and living with some friends of Helmut. Does anybody know something about the son? And what results came from the trial? What happened to Jamaica Hights Resort? Thanks for any news!
Charges are being drawn out. Court hearings keep getting pushed back.
Helmutt had a son Max from previous marriage to Uschi. We knew him in South Miami long time ago.
I think she was from Hamburg or Hanover ? Where is she? And Max ? How can this happened - I was in shock! {edited by TBNet} We love you Helmutt forever love Nadja & Harlan
So we are still waiting for verdict ? Give me a break ! Nadja
we stayed there a week before he was murdered.but what happened to the 2 who were accused of his murder.is the trial over ,if so what was the result
Ich liebe dich Helmut.... You were the most wonderful and genuine person ever... I miss you every day... You told me along time ago that : a woman will kill you.. And so it looks like you knew that for sure .. What can I say: You had a beautiful heart and you loved people on a level that you only find once in a life time!!!!!
I will always keep your memory very close to my heart.. The things you thought me.. The kindness you showed me... The hope you gave me... The love you shared with me.. Words can't say how much you mean to me and my life... May you rest in peace and I know you are on a different journey now.. But I will search for you in a thousand worlds.. In 10.000 life times::: until we meet again Helmut ich liebe dich.. Grace xxx
