Two 15 year old girls are strangled to death On August 30, 2015, Denise Robert, a 62-year-old advertising executive with the *New Hampshire Union Leader*, was shot and killed while out for her regular evening walk in Manchester, New Hampshire. The murder took place in the city's North End neighborhood, an area typically considered safe. Robert was struck by a single bullet, with witnesses reporting a loud gunshot and the sight of a red pickup truck speeding away from the scene.
Despite initial efforts, investigators were unable to definitively identify the shooter or the vehicle involved, and the case has remained unsolved ever since.
Robert was a beloved figure in the community, known for her fitness enthusiasm and close ties to her large family. On the night of her murder, she had gone to several local stores before setting out on her walk. Her family has remained persistent in their calls for justice, with her brother, Tom Robert, serving as the public face of the family's efforts. Over the years, the investigation has seen few significant breakthroughs. In 2017, police conducted searches of a nearby property, using K9 units and metal detectors in hopes of finding crucial evidence, including the bullet that ended Denise's life. Additionally, a search was conducted at a home in Londonderry, believed to be connected to the case, but no arrests were made.
The authorities, including the FBI, have been involved in the investigation, and a $40,000 reward is still offered for any information that could lead to the capture of her killer. The family continues to hope that the case will eventually be solved, drawing parallels to other cold cases in New Hampshire that have seen resolution after many years. However, as of now, the mystery of who killed Denise Robert remains open, with police urging anyone with information to come forward.
