Summary

On the night of August 30, 2015, 62 year old Denise Robert parked her car at Brookside Congregational Church in Manchester, New Hampshire, for her regular Sunday night walk through the North End neighborhood.

Just fifteen minutes later, she was found lying just off the road half a mile away, dead from a single gunshot wound. Witnesses reported hearing what sounded like a firecracker, then saw a red or rust-colored pickup truck speeding away from the scene.

Ten years later, her case is still unsolved and the question remains: who killed Denise Robert?

No shell casing or bullet was ever recovered, and the driver of the truck has never been identified.
