On the morning of January 20, 2005, Llynne Haskins was taking her cat to the vet in a snowstorm. The forty-six-year-old Rockland resident was driving her 1994 Chevy S-10 Blazer on Old County Road, a narrow, two-lane byway that connects the Penobscot Bay city with neighboring Thomaston, going past a series of deep quarries that Rockland uses as landfills.
