Hampshire Murders (Sutton True Crime History)

Product Information

About 10 P.M. the three women in the Hontvet house decided not to wait up any longer. They changed into their nightgowns and Maren fixed a bed for Karen in the kitchen, where it was warmer than the upstairs bedrooms. She and Anethe then retired to an adjoining bedroom. It was almost eight the next morning before Maren dared leave hiding. Unable to gain the attention of workmen on a neighboring island she staggered on frozen feet across the breakwater connecting Smuttynose and Malaga and waved her arms to the children of Jorge Ingerbredsen who were playing outside their home on Appledore. Once alerted, Jorge rowed the quarter mile to Maren’s rescue. He returned her to the care of his wife then gathered men with guns to search Smuttynose. When the party landed on the small island they discovered Wagner’s deed horribly documented. After a long, severe winter, spring was finally in the air and the sun rose steadily in the clear sky as John, Matthew, and Ivan set sail on the morning of March 5, 1873. When the trawl lines were in they planned to sell the catch in Portsmouth and buy bait arriving on the early train from Boston. At sea they met a neighbor and asked him to stop at Smuttynose and tell the women the winds had changed in favor of sailing directly to the mainland, so they wouldn’t be stopping to leave one of the men on the island, as was their custom. They’d be home later that evening. Mr Horsman was a known visitor to the Trinity Centre and Winchester Churches Nightshelter and regularly seen with friends in the underpass beneath the station.

Ward declined to comment on what led investigators to the trails off of Portsmouth Street. The attorney general’s office said in a statement that the bodies were recovered from “a wooded area in close proximity to the Marsh Loop Trail.” The current number of unsolved murders in Hampshire was not available from Hampshire Constabulary. Seven of the eight unsolved murders featured here were disclosed and published by Hampshire Police in 2018 following a Freedom Of Information Request. I think that's very concerning because if two little boys and a mother are killed and they have nobody in custody. That doesn't make me feel safe," Karen Fogg said. "Obviously, somebody is on the run." Steven Perian KC, prosecuting, told the jury that Groves acted out of jealousy after she found that her victim had been messaging a 13-year-old girl on Facebook.

His brother, Tony Price called on witnesses or anyone who knew the culprits to come forward to put his "family's minds at rest". Ronney’s story ends in 2005, when he overdosed on cocaine at 45 years old. He left behind a son, a number of step-siblings, and a trail of havoc that would not be uncovered until nearly two decades after his death. Laura Kempton: Case Closed The jury heard that Hannis and Statham travelled to the lay-by in a recently acquired Mercedes, where they met with Gurinderjit and shot him twice whilst he sat in his car.

He continued: "I would like to thank all the officers from across the force who worked to bring these four men to justice". When John Hontvet and Maren arrived from Norway in 1868, they were the only people living on Smuttynose Island in the Isles of Shoals. At dawn each day John would navigate his schooner, the Clara Bella, to the fishing grounds and draw his trawl lines, then sail to market in nearby Portsmouth, New Hampshire. After selling the fish he would buy bait, then sail for home in late afternoon. His industriousness earned the tall, light-haired man much respect from his friends and neighbors on other islands, whose numbers rarely reached above 50. Business was good and in a short time the Hontvets prospered and lived comfortably in their island domain. We hope that today’s sentences give the friends and family of Gurinderjit Rai some form of closure Detective Chief Inspector Dave StoreyThe outpouring of sympathies and grief from people all over the world and in particularly from colleagues on projects that he had worked on overseas was just incredible,” Siegel added. Prosecutors have charged 26-year-old Logan Clegg with murder in the April deaths of a Concord couple. Concord police, with assistance from New Hampshire State Police and the Central New Hampshire Special Operations Unit, began search efforts that ended when authorities found the Reids’ bodies on Thursday evening, officials said.
