On Saturday, May 25, 2024, New Hampshire State Police troopers responded to an incident on Route 10 in the small town of Marlow. During their investigation, they identified 44-year-old Brian Roffer, a male resident of Marlow, as a suspect in several offenses, including criminal threatening with a deadly weapon. Believing the man to be armed and alone in a heavily wooded area, authorities took measures to ensure the safety of the reported victims and obtained both search and arrest warrants for
him.
An extensive search for Roffer was launched, but after several hours of unsuccessful efforts, the active search was suspended. The following day, on Sunday, May 26, 2024, troopers discovered Roffer's body in a wooded area behind his home. A medical examiner later determined that he had died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Officials reported that no one else was harmed in connection with the incident. There were no arrests or other suspects mentioned in the available information.
