A hunter finds a man who has been shot to death In the quiet woods of Sharon, New Hampshire, a grim discovery was made on September 19, 2009. The remains of 33-year-old Caucasian male, Eric Fitting, were found by a hunter in a wooded area just off of Route 124. An investigation into his death would reveal that he had been the victim of a homicide, having been shot to death. At the time of his death, Fitting was a resident of Fall River, Massachusetts.
The news of his violent death sent ripples through the communities that knew him.
Described by those who knew him as outgoing and friendly, the puzzling nature of his murder left family and friends searching for answers. He was a father, leaving behind a daughter. The investigation that followed was intensive, with law enforcement dedicating significant resources to unraveling the circumstances that led to his killing. Detectives made numerous trips to the Fall River area, hoping to uncover leads that would point them to a suspect or a motive.
Despite the persistent efforts of investigators over the years, Eric Fitting's case remains unsolved. No arrests have ever been made in connection with his murder, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The case was eventually added to the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit's list of unsolved homicides, a testament to the enduring mystery surrounding his death. Years have passed, but the questions of who was responsible for his death and why he was targeted linger, leaving a painful void for his family who still await justice.
