Trish Haynes: Tragedy in Rural New Hampshire

Murder, She Told

08/31/21 • 69 min

5.0

2018 - Grafton, New Hampshire.

The family of a New Hampshire missing person, Trish Haynes, was asked to keep a large secret. 25-year-old Trish was no longer missing. They'd found her... months ago. But New Hampshire police wanted them to keep this under wraps. They weren't allowed to tell anyone their beloved Trishie's remains had been found. To the public, she was still a missing person...

Six months later, Trish's Great Aunt Valorie had had enough, and she went public to the media that Trish had not only been murdered, she'd been dismembered and dumped in the pond while her killers still walked free.

When the family started peeling back the layers of Trish's final days, they quickly realized the people responsible may be closer to home than they thought, hiding in plain sight.

Cape Breton Three: The Boys on the Tracks

Murder, She Told

09/07/21 • 47 min

5.0

1970 - Smyrna Mills, Maine.

In the early morning hours of July 10th, 1970, a freight train struck and killed three Canadians boys on the Bangor and Aroostook Railway Line in the wilderness of Smyrna Mils, Maine. Within hours, the Sheriff determined the incident was a tragic accident—that they were sleeping on the train tracks, for reasons that can't be explained—and completely dismissed the possibility of foul play.

But not everything seems to add up, and 50 years after the mysterious incident, the family, friends, and community of Sydney, Cape Breton in Nova Scotia are asking the questions their community didn't ask in 1970, and reviving this tragic story that's seemingly been lost with time.

This is the story of the Cape Breton Three—Kenny Novak, Terry Burt, And David Burrows.

Murder Mountain, Part One: The Danielle Bertolini Story

Murder, She Told

03/02/21 • 56 min

5.0

2014 - Fortuna, California.

In 2014, a childhood friend of mine from Maine went missing in Fortuna, California. Her name is Danielle Bertolini, and she’s one of the Humboldt County Missing Five. One year later, her skull was found at the mouth of a river. Her killer hasn't yet been brought to justice.

For years I felt her family’s pain through updates online, and when I asked Billie Jo if she would want to talk to me about Danielle, she agreed. We sat down at my dining room table and had a surprisingly intimate and heartbreaking conversation.

This is the story of Danielle Bertolini, and her mother, Billie Jo’s fight for justice.

SIGN THE PETITION – We are asking the Humboldt County DA to prioritize this case. You can help us make this happen. Please listen to her story and share this petition. change.org/danielleandsheila

The Case of Everett Delano: Solved After 53 Years

Murder, She Told

12/07/21 • 41 min

5.0

1966 -Andover, New Hampshire.

In September of 1966, 45-year-old Everett Delano was shot in cold blood at the gas station in Andover, New Hampshire where he worked as an attendant. Everett was a husband, a father, and a veteran with so much life left to live, senselessly murdered in a random act of violence.

As 1966 came to a close without an arrest, the family wondered if their case would be solved: There was no DNA, no suspects, and for decades, no prospects of being solved.

But almost 5 decades later, one call set this case on the fast track for justice.... and investigators realize the killer had been sitting, waiting to be "matched" the entire time.

Hear Everett's story with help from his son, Daryl, the strange circumstances of this case, and how this solved New England cold case beat the odds and now stands as a beacon of hope.

Cold Case Arrest: The 1984 Murder of Dorothea Burke

Murder, She Told

06/01/21 • 26 min

5.0

1984 - Stockton Springs, Maine

After celebrating her 63rd birthday at her favorite local dive bar and spending the day at a family wedding, Dorothea Burke went missing. Five days later, her body was found on the side on a country back road—she's been a victim of blunt force trauma.

For years her case sat on Maine's unsolved homicide list with no updates to family or media. And then in September of 2020, Maine State Police announced an arrest had been made: 57-year-old Kirt Damon Sr, a guest and local man who had been at the wedding that night.

I went to the Waldo County Courthouse to dig through public files for this case and learn what I could, which surprisingly, was a lot.

This is everything publicly available (and not yet released by the news) on the upcoming trial of Kirt Damon Sr. for the murder of Dorothea Burke.

UPDATE: Check out the follow up episode on this case released in February 2022.

Somebody Knows Who Murdered Ashley Ouellette

Murder, She Told

02/09/21 • 38 min

5.0

1999 - Scarborough, Maine.

Ashley Erin Ouellette was murdered.

Her body was still warm when a passerby discovered her—perfectly placed in the middle of the road on a cold February night in Scarborough, Maine.

“We turned around and there was this girl lying face down in the road. She was blue, and she had blood around her mouth. My initial thought was somebody had been hit by a car. But she was just placed so perfectly. Her hands were right by her side, legs straight, toes pointing down.”

Ashley was only 15 and had her whole life ahead of her. Today, over 2 decades later, police are still trying to answer the one question that could crack this case wide open: what happened between the hours of 12:30 and 4:00am on February 10th, 1999?

This is the unsolved murder of Ashley Erin Ouellette.
