Merrimack, NH – A decades-old case continues to haunt authorities and family members in Merrimack as New Hampshire State Police renew their appeal for information in the unsolved 1989 homicide of Megan Jimenez, a 2½-year-old girl who was found unresponsive in her home and later died at the hospital.
According to the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit, emergency services responded to a call from the child’s mother, Karen Jimenez, at approximately 5:30 a.m. on June 15, 1989. Police arrived at 15 Sharon Avenue and discovered Megan unconscious and not breathing. Despite resuscitation efforts, she was pronounced dead later that day.
An autopsy determined that Megan’s death resulted from a long-term pattern of physical abuse, ruling it a homicide. No arrests have been made in connection with the case, and the investigation remains active.
Officials are urging anyone with information to come forward. Tips can be submitted via the state’s Cold Case Unit at coldcaseunit@dos.nh.gov or through their online form at business.nh.gov/ColdCaseTips.
