The following came to me in an email this morning.
Would anyone care to comment? I, for one, am confused. Was posting the Stacey Burns “Unsolved homicide” on the cold case list really an effort to get someone to step forward?
I’ve been told, and this is just an uninformed outsider speaking, that a case received the designation of cold when there is no activity for at least a year, not when no arrest has been made. Wouldn’t that mean that many more cases would be considered cold?
Thirty four days to the 8th anniversary-I’m happy to see, if my email sender is correct, that the Stacey Burns murder case will “continue to be staffed with teams from the NH Attorney General’s Office, the NH State Police Major Crime Unit, and the NH Cold Case Unit.” One would think that these three offices will have this solved in the next thirty four days.
Comments, anyone?
Here is the email:
