Paul Olsen was 20 when his body was recovered from a stream off Route 113 in Madison, New Hampshire on June 24, 1973. He was found wrapped in blankets, with a piece of tape over his mouth; an autopsy ruled the death a homicide by asphyxia from obstruction of the mouth and nose. Investigators estimated his body had been in the water culvert for at least three weeks before discovery.

Olsen lived in Portsmouth and was a recent Marine Corps infantry dischargee. In the months before his death he faced larceny and marijuana possession charges and had a court date around the time he was killed. His car had been found burned on Peirce Island in Portsmouth the previous October.

Did anyone in the Portsmouth or Madison area remember Paul, his car, or unusual activity around Route 113 in the weeks before June 24, 1973?
