On November 9, 1985, 36-year-old Danny Paquette was shot and killed while doing some welding work on his own property. His death was just one mysterious link in an extraordinary chain of events which began back in the 1960s in rural New Hampshire.

Join us at the quiet end for Murder in a Small Town. Danny’s case would go unsolved for years, leading the people of New Hampshire to wonder if it would never be solved. After all, Danny’s mother Rena had been killed at her own home in 1964 and her killer had not been identified. The investigation of Danny’s murder would take twenty years, but the possible connections between his mother’s murder and the murders of two girls may never be fully understood.
