One of the four bodies found dead in Vermont woods in the last week belonged to an accused Barre fentanyl dealer.
The body of Jeffrey Caron, 42, of Barre was found by hunters in the woods along Gore Road at about 4:30 p.m. on Friday, October 27. The cause of his death was determined to be a gunshot wound, and the manner of death is a homicide, state police say.
Police say Caron was one of two men arrested for fentanyl trafficking October 13. After a lengthy investigation, Barre City officers raided an apartment at the 400 block of North Main Street in Barre. Jonie Bresett, 51, and Jeffrey Caron, 42, both of Barre were found with 22.77 grams of crack cocaine, 7 bindles of fentanyl, .59 grams of bulk fentanyl, and $3,500 cash. Both were charged with fentanyl trafficking, sale of cocaine, dispensing out of a dwelling, and possession of a regulated drug.
Caron was cited to appear in court at a later date. Bresett was taken into custody and arraigned before a judge and subsequently released on conditions.
Another of the victims also was a Barre resident. Tanairy “Tanya” Velazquez Estrada, 23, a Fitchburg MA native who lived most recently in Barre, was found in the woods in the Orange County town of Washington Wednesday, October 26. Police say the manner of death is ‘suspicious’ but are withholding more information, pending results of an October 27 autopsy and toxicology testing.
Velazquez Estrada was reported missing by her mother to police in Fitchburg on Wednesday, Oct. 25. Velazquez Estrada’s mother said she had not heard from her daughter in more than a week. Fitchburg police contacted law enforcement in Vermont at about the same time the victim’s body was discovered in the town of Washington.
The bodies of two young Massachusetts men killed by gunshot, Jahim Solomon of Chicopee and Eric White of Pittsfield, were located along the Albany-Eden Road on Tuesday, Oct. 24, and Wednesday, Oct. 25. Like Estrada, the pair’s disappearance was reported by concerned family members in Massachusetts.

Before anyone draws any conclusions, let’s not allow our biases, whether hidden or overt, to convince us that being involved in the trade of street opioids in any way exposes a person to violence or other criminal activity. We modern-day Vermonters are much too enlightened and sophisticated to fall prey to such simplistic and paranoid ideations…
Just don’t forget who has been overseeing our dystopian Vermont. The legislature, its appointed aficionados, and the voters who elected the fools. It’s not that retribution is in order. But it behooves us to remember who we should challenge in the future when they continue with their self-indulgent, misguided, virtue signaling – which they are sure to do.
“Retribution” is most certainly in order…at the polls…

Caron was cited to appear in court at a later date. Bresett was taken into custody and arraigned before a judge and subsequently released on conditions?..so they were released with conditions! Well, that should give them enough time to jump bail and leave state. The judges are way too lenient.
People can most certainly draw any conclusions that gangs are protecting their turf and we now have gangs running drugs in Vermont, no we must not come to that conclusion, certainly because it’s happening in every state and country around us, it most certainly couldn’t be happening in Vermont!
No we welcome drug dealers by not persecuting them, why would they be fighting?
An evil business, where Karma almost always wins out, in the end.
Let’s see …. we’ve defunded police,
have Soros funded AG’s,
have elected politicians legalizing dope,
cancelled Christianity in education, AND
allowed teachers to promote nonbinary thinking in the classrooms of government schools without parental consent.
What could go wrong?
Wait, did you say something about “vigilante justice”?
Yuuuup
Does Vermont have our own superhero now?!!!! If this is vigilante justice, it is already SAVING countless lives ….
It’s starting to look a lot like Chicago during prohibition. Gangsters killing gangsters. The good news I suppose is they’re not doing it in downtown areas
Or are they and just dumping the bodies in the woods
In the woods? Does that make it the responsibility of Vermont Fish and Wildlife? I didn’t know there was a season on drug dealing gangsters. The thought is intriguing though, isn’t it?
In Biblical terms, as we are in Biblical times, evil is all around us and the spiritual warfare is harvesting many souls – all warnings and signs are everywhere. Take heed or be lost to the demonic spirits and destruction they unleash.
Matthew 24 4-13 KJV
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Logic says that this is just another case of one gang’s druggies killing another gang’s druggies, perhaps as part of a turf war.
One thing bothers me though, and that’s where all these bodies were found. I’m certainly no profiler, but it seems to me that when a gang (or someone acting on their behalf) kills someone, they usually a) leave the body as a message to the rival gang, or b) leave the body somewhere close by that they’re familiar and comfortable with. And after that, they get out of Dodge as quickly as they can, for obvious reasons.
But here, the bodies were left in the remote woods, meaning it took a while to get from (probably) Barre to, let’s say, Eden. Bodies are dead weight, and that’s a long way to drive with said bodies, especially not knowing if anyone saw the incident go down and not knowing if there’s a BOLO already out on their vehicle. All of these moves are not gang moves, they’re moves of inexperience, stupidity, or both.
Yet the fact remains, dead bodies are usually left in an area that the perps are familiar with. You think gang members are familiar with, never mind comfortable in, some random remote Vermont woods? I think not. And this fact also points to there being more than one perp, again, because bodies are dead weight and dragging them any distance becomes crazy difficult for one person. It’s also time consuming, and there’s comfort in knowing any local who drives by and sees your parked vehicle probably recognizes it and doesn’t think twice about why it’s there.
It all turns out the same when all’s said and done though. No taxpayer dollars wasted here. To make a bad pun, it kind of “kills two birds with one stone”, eh?
My mom (rest in peace “mommy”…you were the most best of moms ever)
Use to tell me about being a teen (she born 1934) living nek …Hardwick during that time know as “little Chicago”… anyone else ever hear that?
To Robin Banks, Have you ever heard of the suggestion, “Gee, nice day, let’s take a walk in the woods” ?
Saves carrying a lot of “dead weight”.
Very true. However, druggies, and especially drug dealers, are by nature a suspicious lot. I don’t see them going to West Crabgrass, VT in the middle of nowhere just to make a sale. Too much time wasted when their main concern is to both move product and get out of town as quickly as possible.
But it’s not out of the realm of possibilities that perhaps your knowledge on the topic exceeds mine. The question is whether your response, mine, or both are an example of *dry humor*? Well played, Walter, well played.
Just saw a woman post on FB a post with all the murders in Vt. It kind of bothered me that she had Tanairy Velazquez Estrada name also with a link to this post labeling her a fentanyl dealer. I have not seen much of anything on her. Not even a picture in the news. I believe you were referring to the Caron as the dealer in the article. I am finding it really odd we have not seen a pic of Estrada.
