YCSO has received numerous calls since media broadcasts began yesterday and we appreciate the leads provided by this information.

This does not preclude other vehicle types that might be associated with the homicides. Please continue to report suspect and suspect vehicle information if known. Detectives would also like to locate persons associated with two different vehicles seen parked in proximity to the Subaru on the evening of January 5th and encourage them to call YCSO immediately.

The victims’ vehicle is shown as reference for those who may recall seeing it parked in the scenic 89A pullout or other surrounding areas. The vehicle displayed New Hampshire license plates. Both victims are from New Hampshire. Detectives are not yet releasing names as there has been difficulty locating family members.
