A burned body is discovered in a Subaru station wagon On a fall day in 1979, the quiet town of Weare, New Hampshire, was rocked by a grim discovery. In a gravel pit off Gould Road in the southern part of the town on October 14, a Subaru station wagon sat, severely damaged by fire. Inside the vehicle, authorities found the burned remains of a young man, later identified through dental records as 28-year-old Kenneth Jache.
An autopsy would later reveal a more sinister story than the fire suggested; Kenneth had been shot multiple times before the vehicle was set ablaze. His death was officially ruled a homicide.
For decades, the case of Kenneth Jache has remained unsolved, a lingering mystery in the small New England town. Investigators have pursued leads over the years, but no arrests have ever been made in connection with his murder. The New Hampshire State Police Cold Case Unit continues to have the case open, periodically renewing calls for any information that might lead to a breakthrough. The identity of who was responsible for the death of Kenneth Jache and the motive behind the violent act remain unknown to the public.
The New Hampshire Department of Justice has made the details of the case public in the hopes that someone might come forward with a crucial piece of information. They encourage anyone who might know something, regardless of how insignificant it may seem, to contact the Cold Case Unit. Despite the passage of more than four decades, law enforcement officials and the community still seek answers and a measure of justice for Kenneth Jache.
