According to an affidavit filed in Knox County Superior Court by Detective Dean Jackson of the Maine State Police, Lisa Black told first responders that she and her husband had driven to Mt. Megunticook, hiked to the top and were having lunch near the cross on Maiden Cliff.
At one point, Lisa Black told police, she stood up and started walking when she was struck on the back of the head three times. She was knocked to the ground and her husband Charles Black dragged her to the edge of the cliff and threw her over, according to the affidavit.
Lisa Black told police, the court documents state, she fell a short distance and got up and ran down the mountain to Route 52 for assistance. She told police as she was making her way down to the road, her husband fell down past her and appeared to be injured, according to the affidavit.
"It was reported that Lisa seemed to be scared and wanted to leave the area because she feared that her husband was still chasing her and wanted to kill her," according to the affidavit.
On April 7, Detective Jackson climbed Megunticook to collect evidence and recovered a backpack, which is believed to belong to Charles Black. It was found near the bottom of a steep drop near the bottom of Maiden Cliff. The backpack contained a camera, jacket, hat, rocks and other items belonging to Black.
The same day, Lisa Black was interviewed by Maine State Police Detective Jennifer Fiske at EMMC. She told the detective that she had inherited $4 million when her father died and that Charles Black had been taking her money without her permission, according to the affidavit.
She also told police that there were several other incidents involving her husband that made her feel as if he has been trying to kill her. According to the affidavit, a couple of weeks prior to this incident, Charles Black climbed a ladder to the attic and, while Lisa Black was at the bottom of the ladder, he fell down on top of her. Charles Black told his wife he passed out, according to the court documents.
Also around the same time frame, the two were up on Mt. Battie, also in Camden. According to the affidavit, Lisa Black walked close to the edge of the cliff and Charles Black was behind her and she was struck on the back of the head and she fell to the ground. Charles Black again said he passed out and the front of his head bumped the back of hers, according to the affidavit.

He said he picked up a couple of rocks to add to his rock collection and he put them in his backpack. The next thing he recalled was falling down a hill. He could not remember hitting Lisa Black or throwing her off the side of the mountain, according to the affidavit.
"He stated that if this happened, he could not remember it and he did not know why he would do this," Jackson wrote in the affidavit.
