Hall, and Plaistow Police Department Chief John Santoro announce that officials are currently investigating the suspicious death of an adult female in Plaistow, New Hampshire, that occurred early this morning, Sunday, May 18, 2025.

At approximately 6:13 a.m., officers of the Plaistow Police Department responded to a residence on Old County Road in Plaistow in response to a 911 call.  Upon entering the home, they made contact with the reporting party and discovered a deceased adult female and an adult male suffering from injuries.
