Lisa K Snyder

A woman visiting her sister goes missing; later found strangled to death
In the summer of 1985, twenty-year-old Caucasian female Lisa K. Snyder was visiting her sister in Rollinsford, New Hampshire, from her home in Bow. On the evening of July 4th, she made plans to go to a nightclub in the nearby town of Dover. When she failed to return, her sister grew worried and eventually filed a missing person's report. For nearly two years, her whereabouts remained a mystery, a period filled with uncertainty and fading hope for her family. Investigators followed up on various leads, including possible sightings, but each one led to a dead end, leaving the case to grow cold.

A grim discovery on April 18, 1987, brought the search for Lisa to a tragic conclusion. A man walking through a wooded area off Rollins Road in Rollinsford stumbled upon decomposed human remains. Dental records would later confirm the identity of the remains as those of Lisa K. Snyder. The discovery shifted the focus of the investigation from a missing person case to a homicide. The medical examiner determined that Lisa had been strangled to death, confirming the violent end to her young life. The location where her body was found, known as the Old Dodge Farm, was a secluded spot familiar to some locals.

In the years following the discovery of Lisa's body, the investigation into her murder continued, but no arrests were ever made. The case eventually became one of New Hampshire's unsolved homicides. However, law enforcement has long considered a man named Edward B. Pehowic as a prime suspect. Pehowic was convicted and is serving a life sentence for the murder of another woman, and investigators have noted similarities between that crime and Lisa's death. When questioned, Pehowic admitted to being familiar with the wooded area where Lisa's body was found, a place he frequented. Despite the strong suspicion, he has never been charged in connection with Lisa K. Snyder's murder, and her case officially remains unsolved, leaving her family without complete closure.
