Warner, NH – A decades-old disappearance continues to haunt a New Hampshire town as state police renew their call for information in the case of Betty Place, who vanished from her Warner home on June 14, 1978.
According to the New Hampshire State Police, Place was last seen at her residence on Joppa Road that Wednesday morning and was reported missing the following day. Despite extensive searches by state police and other agencies at the time, Place was never located, and investigators have treated her disappearance as suspicious for years.
The Cold Case Unit is now urging the public to revisit the details of the case, hoping that new information could bring answers to her family. Officials emphasize that even small details from residents who lived in or around Warner at the time could assist in reopening investigative leads.
Place’s photo and case summary are featured on the department’s official Facebook page and the cold case database, where users can submit anonymous tips. Authorities stress that every tip is reviewed by detectives and could lead to critical breakthroughs.
Anyone with information is encouraged to submit tips to the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit online or via email at coldcaseunit@dos.nh.gov.
This renewed outreach falls on the 47th anniversary of Place’s disappearance. The New Hampshire State Police continue to classify the case as open and active.
