Steven Hill, 38 and a resident of Lebanon, New Hampshire, disappeared after going to collect his paycheck on June 20, 1986. His disappearance baffled the small community for weeks until his body was recovered on July 15, 1986, along the Connecticut River near Summer Falls in Hartland, Vermont, across from Plainfield, New Hampshire.

An autopsy determined Hill died of multiple stab wounds, and the case was treated as a homicide. Despite investigations by New Hampshire and Vermont authorities, no suspects were publicly named and no arrests were reported. Investigators have at times examined whether Hill’s killing could be linked to a series of other unsolved murders in the Connecticut River Valley from that period, though Hill stands out as the only male victim in that group.

If anyone knew Steven, saw him around June 20, 1986, or has information about activity along the Connecticut River that summer, please share what is known.
