Joseph Vincent Furando was a 39-year-old businessman from Guilford, Connecticut who was murdered while on a business trip to New Hampshire in May 1979. He was last seen in Newton, Massachusetts, on May 16, 1979, and had a reservation at a Holiday Inn in Portsmouth that night but never arrived. On May 17, his body was found on Brewer Road in Kensington, New Hampshire, about 20 feet off Route 150. He had been shot, and his death alarmed the small Kensington community.

Initial inquiries produced no arrests, and the case quickly went cold. Authorities have speculated about motives but no clear suspects have emerged; a lack of witnesses and physical evidence has hindered reconstructing Furando’s final hours. The New Hampshire Cold Case Unit still lists the case as unsolved and the investigation remains open.

Did anyone see Joseph Furando in Newton, en route to Portsmouth, or on Route 150 around May 16–17, 1979?
