CLAREMONT, N.H. — An investigation into a “tragic and untimely death” in a New Hampshire town led to a drug bust in a neighboring community and the arrests of two women, authorities said.
Emergency crews responding to a report of a person who was unconscious and not breathing in the area of 62 Sunapee Street in Newport on Tuesday pronounced 33-year-old Maryanne Bladauff dead at the scene, according to the Claremont Police Department.
Evidence gathered at the scene of Bladauff’s death led investigators to a home on Prospect Street in Claremont, where police say officers seized more than an ounce of suspected methamphetamine, more than 50 bags of suspected fentanyl, suspected crack cocaine, controlled and narcotic prescription pills, an assortment of drug packaging materials, scales, ledgers, and cash.
The search of the home also ended with the arrest of 35-year-old Claremont native Lisa Giannatti. She faces felony charges including possession of controlled drugs with intent to deliver and conspiracy to commit sale of controlled drugs.
Giannatti, who was previously convicted under the New Hampshire Controlled Drug Act, was ordered held at the Sullivan County House of Corrections pending her arraignment.
Brittany Nolin, 33, of Newport, was also arrested on a charge of falsifying physical evidence in connection with Bladauff’s death, according to police.
Police also noted that additional arrests and charges are expected.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Newport Police Detective Sergeant Alexander Marvin at 603-863-3232 or Claremont Police Detective Sergeant Trevor Dickerman at 603-542-7010.

Tidemark, BOD Holdings Complete 135-Unit Multifamily Project in Somersworth, New Hampshire
SOMERSWORTH, N.H. — A partnership between developers Tidemark and BOD Holdings has completed The Overlook, a 135-unit multifamily project in Somersworth, located on the Maine-New Hampshire border. Designed by New Hampshire-based PROCON, the complex is located in the downtown area and offers studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units and amenities such as a fitness center, package room, leasing office and onsite parking. Construction began in August 2024.
The suspected gunman in a shooting in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, in the hours after July 4 was an active-duty member of the U.S. Navy, officials said Monday.
The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office had previously identified the man who shot a man and woman, then himself, early Sunday morning as 21-year-old Tyshawn Cooper. Cooper died by suicide in a confrontation with police.
Cooper worked on the USS Hampton as an information systems technician (submarines), second class, according to an update from prosecutors and state and local police on Monday. He was living in New Hampshire for the military assignment — the submarine has been at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or chat live at 988lifeline.org. You can also visit SpeakingOfSuicide.com/resources for additional support.
Cooper was not on duty at the time of the shooting, a spokesman for the Navy told NBC10 Boston Monday.
“We are deeply saddened by this event and extend our heartfelt condolences to the victims and their families. The Navy is cooperating fully with the New Hampshire State Police, who are leading the investigation into the circumstances of the shooting,” the statement said.
The USS Hampton, an attack submarine, is named for four cities with the name Hampton, including New Hampshire’s.
The man, 23, and woman, 25, remained hospitalized on Monday, officials said.
The Naval Criminal Investigative Service was reviewing the incident along with state police and prosecutors, according to officials’ update.
Officials haven’t yet said what’s suspected to have led to the shooting, first reported on Ocean Boulevard about 1:19 a.m. Sunday. Officers then encountered Cooper near P Street and Ashworth Avenue, according to the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office. During that interaction, the suspect pulled out a handgun and shot himself in the head. At the same time, an officer fired their weapon.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death was a gunshot wound of head and that the manner of his death was suicide.
Though the officer’s shot was not the cause of death, the Attorney General’s Office will conduct a use of force investigation.
