Rosalie Rose Miller, known as Rosalie or Rose, was 36 when her body was found along the Londonderry Turnpike in Auburn, New Hampshire, on January 20, 1997. The deceased was identified as a Manchester resident who had been living on Cedar Street. An autopsy determined the cause of death was asphyxiation due to ligature strangulation and the death was ruled a homicide.

Her frozen condition when discovered delayed the autopsy, and investigators believe she may have been killed sometime in December 1996, possibly before Christmas. Police learned she had been involved in drug use and sex work, and that those circumstances complicated the probe as some potential witnesses were reluctant to cooperate. More than 100 witnesses were interviewed early on, Manchester Crimeline offered a reward, but no arrests were made.

The case grew cold and is now handled by the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit; Rosalie’s family continues to await justice. If anyone knew Rosalie, her routines, associates, or saw anything in Auburn or Manchester that winter, please come forward with information.
