On the morning of August 16, 1974, Maurice Wilkinson, 48, was found dead in his home on Old Route 16 in Center Ossipee, New Hampshire. A young child discovered him sitting in a chair in the living room; an autopsy determined he had been shot once with a 9mm weapon. His wife, Ellen Wilkinson, was found upstairs in her bed, shot multiple times. Their four children were unharmed.

Investigators reported no signs of forced entry, which suggested the victims may have known their attacker, but no clear motive emerged. Decades later the killings remain unsolved and the case has been transferred to the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit. No suspects have been publicly identified or arrested.

If anyone has information about Maurice and Ellen Wilkinson or the events of that night, authorities want to hear from you.
