Authorities have announced the resolution of a 50-year-old case. Police have identified a woman discovered deceased in New Hampshire during the 1970s as Nancy Gale Erickson, a young woman who vanished from Vermont. The unidentified woman’s body was located off Route 124 in Marlborough, New Hampshire, in April 1974. On Wednesday, authorities confirmed her identity as Erickson. Investigators report that she was 21 years old when she went missing from Brattleboro in 1973 and was never heard from again. Her family officially reported her missing to the Brattleboro police in 2021. Forensic analysis linked DNA from the body found in New Hampshire to Erickson’s siblings. Investigators are seeking information from anyone who interacted with Nancy Erickson in the 1970s and encourage individuals to reach out to the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit Tip Line at 800-525-5555.

A man from New Hampshire, who received a sentence for his involvement in the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, has stated that he will decline President Trump’s pardon. Jason Riddle, a veteran of the Navy, expressed that he does not wish to accept it, as he believes he caused harm to others that day and merits his 90-day prison sentence. Senator Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire has verified that her office is collaborating with him to officially reject the presidential pardon. Riddle entered a guilty plea and was sentenced to 90 days in jail along with three years of probation.
