:geek: OK everyone. I'm looking at a really old case here...

Timeline: 1977 to 1987 and possibly beyond...

Victims:

Cathy Millican
Bernice Coutermache
Ellen Fried
Elizabeth Critchley
Eva Morse
Lynda Moore
Barbara Agnew

With the exception of Lynda Moore {who was killed at home} all of the victims were taken away alive and killed later. Their bodies were all found in woodland areas that suuround rivers. The Conneticut River mainly and the Little Sugar River. This offender is kn own for stabbing his victims numerous times and leaving them in woodland areas. Not sure though if the victims are killed in the woods. Many of these woodland areas surround rivers. The stabbing is the penetration with this offender. He chooses sites first and victims later...

It's actually obvious that we have one offender. So now I've got a question. Is this offender still alive and working? Is he alive and in prison? Or is he deceased??... :geek:

He could still be alive say he was 30 in 77. That would mean born in 47. The stopping suddenly in 87. Well they don't just stop killing. So being it was the time it was maybe he moved his activities elsewhere, Imprisoned for another reason, Possibly a sexual crime or dead. They don't usually like to keep offenders locked up too long. So say he was imprisoned in 87 at age 40. Served 15 yrs. Out at 55. Could have been in very bad health. Unable to commit his prior activities. Then died. I personally don't get the feeling this guy is walking around out there.

I don’t either. He may still be in prison for murdering someone else in a different situation so that they couldn’t connect him to the others.

NEWPORT, N.H. —
The search for physical evidence underway Tuesday in Newport is related to the investigation into multiple cold cases popularly linked to the so-called Connecticut River Valley serial killer, News 9 Investigates has learned.

Investigators began executing court-authorized search warrants on Tuesday morning in the Kelleyville neighborhood of Newport, including at a home on Ayers Street. There were more than a dozen cars parked along the dead-end street, and dozens of trash bags were seen piled up outside what appears to be a barn. It’s not known whether the trash bags are related to the search.


Officials would not say what cold case the search was related to, but sources said the search is related to a series of unsolved killings in the Connecticut River Valley in the 1970s and 1980s.

There are at least two unsolved cases with ties to Newport, including the mid-1980s killings of 17-year-old Bernice Courtemanche and 25-year-old Ellen Fried. Courtemanche’s body was found April 19, 1986, off Cat Hole Road. Fried’s skeletal remains, meanwhile, were found Sept. 19, 1985, in a wooded area next to the Sugar River in the Kelleyville neighborhood.

Beyond the Courtemanche and Fried cases, more have been popularly linked to a potential serial killer, but Cold Case Unit officials previously told WMUR they don’t believe the cases are connected. That possibility can’t be investigated fully, though, until one of the cases is solved, they said at the time.

Julie Murray, the sister of Maura Murray, the Massachusetts college student who went missing in New Hampshire in 2004, told WMUR her family was aware of the search and said they are in close contact with investigators. Maura Murray’s case has not typically been connected to the unsolved Connecticut River Valley killings of decades prior, but Julie Murray in 2023 helped lead a group of victims’ families in demanding change in how all cold cases are investigated by the state.
