The Murder of Denise Robert (New Hampshi...

AUDIOCHUCK
About this episode

She was out on her usual Sunday night walk when an unknown killer pulled up and shot her, leaving her mortally wounded in the street of what locals considered a safe neighborhood. Why someone would target Denise Robert and take her life still doesn’t make any sense to her family and those who knew her best, even 10 years later. 

This case is not short on theories. Police have fielded questions about everything from a possible gang initiation to serial killers, but we still don’t know what really happened.

  • Anyone with information regarding the murder of Denise Robert is urged to contact the Manchester Police Department Crimeline at (603) 624-4040. You can also submit a tip at manchestercrimeline.org.
