Rita Roy, a 69-year-old White grandmother, was murdered in broad daylight on May 20, 1991. She had parked on the top level of the Center of NH parking garage at 700 Elm Street in Manchester and was waiting for an elevator around 11:26 a.m. when she was ambushed and stabbed multiple times. Emergency responders transported her to a nearby hospital, but she died of her wounds.

Manchester Police developed and released a suspect sketch and investigated for months, receiving some tips that did not lead to an identification. No arrests or publicly named suspects have ever been announced, and the case remains an open, unsolved homicide. The attack on a woman described as a no-risk victim shocked the community and left her family without answers.

If anyone remembers seeing something at the Center of NH garage that morning or has information about Rita Roy’s attacker, authorities would want to hear from you.
