A quiet afternoon in Bath, New Hampshire, ended in violence on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, when a 911 call about shots fired brought police to a home on Tyler Way. Officers found two women dead inside: 67-year-old Cindy Moody and her 39-year-old daughter Kristal Moody. Autopsies confirmed both died from gunshot wounds to the chest, and their deaths were ruled homicides.

At the scene, officers encountered 73-year-old Charles Readey, who was armed and was taken into custody. Court documents say Readey admitted to shooting Kristal through a closed door and then shooting Cindy. Police charged him with two counts of second-degree murder and are not seeking other suspects. Readey was held without bail pending further proceedings.

If anyone knew Cindy or Kristal, or has information about the household situation on Tyler Way, please share what you know.
