Summary

2015 - Manchester, New Hampshire. On a warm summer night in August 2015, 62-year-old Denise Robert followed her familiar routine—ending the day with a quiet walk through neighborhood streets she knew by heart. But just before 9 pm, the stillness of the evening broke. Denise was shot in the head by an unknown assailant and killed instantly. Ten years later, there have been no arrests. No answers. Denise lived a full but quiet life, with no known enemies. But somebody out there knows who pulled the trigger—and it’s time they spoke up.
