Summary

1983 - Plymouth, Massachusetts. On a cold night in February 1983, Barry Pinto, 26, and his wife, Dena, 24, were brutally shot in their own home, while their infant son sat helpless in a nearby playpen. The crime scene hinted that the couple might have known their killer, yet investigators struggled to uncover a clear motive. Forty years later, the Pinto family is still haunted by unanswered questions, unable to shake the feeling that someone in the small coastal community is holding back the truth. If you have any information about the murder of Barry and Dena Pinto, please call the Massachusetts State Police Unresolved Case Unit at 1-855-627-6583 (855-MA-SOLVE).
