NH families of the missing and murdered demand answers from AG’s office
In New Hampshire, there are about 130 active missing persons and unsolved murder cases under investigation.
At the New Hampshire State House in Concord, families of some of those cases gathered to demand that their loved ones are not forgotten.
Among them was Valerie Haynes Alvarez.
Her niece, Trish Haynes, was last seen in New Hampshire in 2017.
Her dismembered body was found a year later.
Alvarez is frustrated with the way the case has been handled.
“Trish’s case is not an unsolved case. It’s unprosecuted,” she said. “It’s like reliving it. We don’t want to have to keep reliving it, especially in the light of they have not charged the people who did this.”
Julie Murray, the sister of missing UMass student Maura Murray, is a key member of the group organizing the event.
She is urging the New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella’s Office to be more responsive to these families.
Maura Murray has been missing for more than twenty years.
“We want a response to an email. We want a return phone call so that we feel some small sense of hope that somebody cares,” Julie Murray said.
Members of the Attorney General’s staff attended the event and talked to families
In a statement, the AG said resolving cold cases is a top priority.
The daughters of 2015 unsolved murder victim David Oldham, says what’s needed, is very simple.
“Everybody deserves justice. It doesn’t bring them back, but it least gives us answers,” Ashley Pittman, David Oldham’s daughter, said.

Join us for a community conversation exploring how land conservation supports thriving communities, healthy ecosystems, and local economies. Recent research from Maine highlights the growing economic value of conserved lands — from supporting recreation, forestry, agriculture, and tourism to protecting clean water, storing carbon, and strengthening climate resilience. The findings reveal something important: protecting natural landscapes is not only good for the environment, but also for the people and communities that depend on them.
Together, we’ll explore what this research means both regionally and here at home. How do conserved lands shape our quality of life, local economy, and sense of place? How can communities balance growth, conservation, and long-term sustainability? And what role can each of us play in protecting the landscapes that support both nature and people?
At each “Let’s Talk Nature” gathering, we share a short article in advance and come together for an informal, welcoming discussion. Each session stands on its own, and everyone is welcome. No expertise needed. Bring your curiosity and a willingness to listen and share. Drinks and cookies provided.
