Mary Harrison was 22 and living with her husband Walter on Broadbrook Road in the village of Ashuelot, Winchester, New Hampshire, when she disappeared in October 1981. Walter reported her missing on October 15 after saying he last spoke to her on October 13; he worked in Connecticut during the week and returned home to find no sign of Mary. Early on, an officer suggested she might have left voluntarily, possibly with another man, a theory her family rejected.

A two-week search ended on October 30, 1981, when a hunter found Mary’s body in woods off Monument Road in Hinsdale. An autopsy showed a fatal gunshot wound to the head and her death was ruled a homicide. Police questioned Walter and considered him a suspect; he denied wrongdoing, later remarried, and has since died. No arrests were ever announced and the case is cold.

Did anyone in the area around Ashuelot or Hinsdale in October 1981 have information that could help reopen this investigation?
