Concord, NH – New Hampshire State Police are renewing their call for public assistance in two long-unsolved homicide cases — the 1991 death of Domingo Chavez in Manchester and the 2001 killing of Louise Chaput near Pinkham Notch.
According to the agency’s Cold Case Unit, 30-year-old Domingo Chavez was found fatally stabbed on November 15, 1991, inside a Manchester lounge. Police said Chavez suffered a neck wound and was transported to a local hospital, where he died from his injuries. Despite multiple investigations, the case remains unsolved.
Ten years later, on November 22, 2001, the body of 52-year-old Louise Chaput was discovered near the Glen Ellis Falls parking area in Pinkham Notch. Chaput, who was reported missing after failing to return from a scheduled hike, was found with multiple stab wounds. Her death was ruled a homicide.
State Police are urging anyone with information to contact the Cold Case Unit at coldcaseunit@dos.nh.gov or submit anonymous tips through the state’s website:
Officials say any detail, no matter how small, could help bring long-awaited justice to both families.
