On June 14, 2019, officers responding to a welfare check at a single-family home in a 55-and-older cooperative on Rachael Circle in Goffstown, New Hampshire, found 72-year-old Sally A. Miller dead inside. An autopsy determined she died from a single gunshot wound to the head and her death was ruled a homicide. Neighbors described the community as quiet and said Miller mostly kept to herself; a neighbor had raised the alarm after not seeing her for several days and officers forced entry to check on her.

Investigators said evidence showed the shooter entered Miller’s bedroom while she slept, placed a handgun against her temple, and fired. Authorities reported the victim had told a neighbor her daughter had been stealing from her and that the thefts had left her out of money. Police said the daughter left New Hampshire after the killing and was arrested in Florida on June 16, 2019, on a New Hampshire warrant charging alternative counts of knowing and reckless second-degree murder.

Prosecutors later said the daughter admitted taking money, destroying evidence, and having contemplated killing her mother, including writing about it in a journal. The daughter pleaded guilty in April 2021 to reckless second-degree murder and was sentenced to 30 years in prison on June 21, 2021. No other suspects have been publicly identified.

If anyone knew Sally, her routines, or who visited her in the days before she was found, please share what could help the case.
