Eric Quick, 38, was charged with murder and kidnapping in the May 11, 2004, disappearance of Linda Watts, who police believe was abducted as she walked home from her job in the mailroom at the Sanford Herald newspaper.
Her body has never been found.
Superior Court Judge Gregory Weeks ruled prosecutors failed to link Quick to Watts' disappearance and presumed death, and he granted a defense motion to dismiss the charges.
Phillip Bunnell, Gilbert Stone Jr. and Frederick Spinks also have been charged in the case.
