NHTI In Lockdown As Concord Cops, Troopers Capture Assault Suspect

Around 6:30 p.m., state troopers, along with Concord police assisting, met in Bow for a joint operation warrant arrest of a man possibly involved in an assault incident. However, no specifics were given over the air about the case. The arrest was to take place at the Comfort Inn on Hall Street.

Troopers and Concord police surrounded the hotel and identified potential vehicles the suspect could escape in.

Around 8 p.m., before attempting to move in to make the arrest, the suspect fled the scene in a GMC pickup truck, one of the three suspected vehicles police were watching. Troopers began chasing the vehicle while other investigators spoke to a woman connected to the suspect in the hotel.

The suspect drove north on Interstate 93 and got off at Exit 14 and entered Fort Eddy Road. A dashcam video was posted to the Horrible Drivers of New Hampshire Facebook Group, linked here, of the suspect speeding away from troopers north in the southbound lane of Fort Eddy Road during the chase.

The suspect drove east onto Interstate 393. Around Exit 3, the suspect was able to get away from police on Route 106.

Other officers searched Walmart and the Steeplegate Mall areas.

Police at the hotel spoke to the woman and reported to others in the field that the suspect had made a gun-suicide threat, too.

One trooper, however, reported possibly seeing a pickup in the manufactured home park along Fort Eddy Road. The trooper went back to the park and searched it but did not find the truck. The trooper then went to the NHTI campus parking lot and found the pickup truck.

State police arrived at the school and confirmed by drone that no one was inside the truck. They called campus security and requested video surveillance footage of the suspect. The school was also placed on lockdown.

Listen: Snippets from 13 minutes of scanner audio as NHSP and Concord police attempted to secure the suspect:

One state trooper contacted the suspect, named Charlie, and attempted to find out where he was. Charlie could be heard screaming that he did not know where he was because he was not from the Concord area. At one point during the conversation, the suspect threatened to jump in front of a vehicle on the Interstate, according to scanner chatter. The trooper broadcasted his conversation with others in the field to keep them posted on what was happening.

A little past 9 p.m., the suspect was found along a footpath behind the police academy toward the river and taken into custody.

New photo released in unsolved 1997 homicide of a N.H. woman

Local News

“Our family wants to know what happened, who did this and why,” said the family of the victim.

A new photo has been released of the victim in a nearly 30-year-long unsolved murder case, in the hope of finding any new potential witnesses in the cold case, New Hampshire officials said.

“Our family wants to know what happened, who did this and why,” the family of Rosalie Miller said in a press release. “We miss her and want to give her peace.”

Miller was last seen on December 8, 1996 at her apartment in Manchester. At the time of her disappearance, Miller had plans on meeting friends in the Auburn, New Hampshire area, officials said.

Her body was found on January 20, 1997 in a partially wooded spot on a residential lot along the Londonderry Turnpike in Auburn, officials said in the release.

The autopsy report declared Miller’s death a homicide by asphyxiation due to ligature strangulation, N.H. officials wrote.

As part of a new effort to garner public help with the case, an “uncirculated” photo of Miller, 36, is being distributed “in hopes it may jog the memory of someone who saw or spoke with her in the winter of 1996,” Attorney General John M. Formella and New Hampshire State Police Colonel Mark B. Hall announced on behalf of the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit in a joint press release.

Investigators are especially hoping to talk to anyone who was in contact with Miller in December of 1996 or anyone “who may have seen her in the vicinity of the Londonderry Turnpike in Auburn during that time,” officials said in the release.

“We are releasing this new photograph today because we believe someone out there has information, perhaps a detail they thought was insignificant at the time, that could be the key to solving this case and bringing justice for Rosalie and those who loved her,” Senior Assistant Attorney General R. Christopher Knowles, New Hampshire Cold Case Unit Chief said in the release.

The New Hampshire Cold Case Unit encourages anyone with any amount of information to contact the group at [email protected] or (603) 271-2663.

Mass. man struck by car, seriously injured on I-93 in Londonderry, NH

A Massachusetts man was flown to the hospital after he was struck by a car when he stepped out of his vehicle in the breakdown lane of Interstate 93 in Londonderry, New Hampshire, on Saturday morning.

State police say 40-year-old Felix Matos Medina, of Lawrence, had stopped on the right side of I-93 south at Exit 5 just before 11 a.m. to investigate a possible mechanical issue. He was struck shortly after he stepped out of his vehicle by a Chevrolet Malibu and sustained serious injuries.

Medina was taken by medical helicopter to Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington, Mass., police said. There was no immediate update on his condition.

I-93 southbound was closed near Exit 5 for about 30 minutes to facilitate the medical helicopter’s landing. One lane remained closed for several hours to accommodate crash reconstruction and on-scene investigation.

The driver who struck Medina, identified as David Jodoin, stopped at the scene and is cooperating with investigators, according to police. No charges have been filed at this time, but all aspects of the crash remain under investigation at this time.

Anyone with information that may assist the investigation is asked to contact Trooper Evan Puopolo at 603-451-9784.

State police are also reminding all New Hampshire drivers that Sherrill’s Law requires motorists approaching a stopped vehicle displaying warning signals to slow down and give plenty of space. Drivers are also required to move out of partially or wholly blocked lanes when it’s safe to do so.
