The Murders of Sandra Valade, Pamela Mason & Rena Paquette (New Hampshire)

Since February 1964, rumors have swirled across New Hampshire about the death of Rena Paquette. It has been almost sixty years and still the truth remains unknown. But Rena Paquette’s story actually begins with two other deaths — 18-year old Sandra Valade and 14-year old Pamela Mason. All three were murdered between the winters of 1960 and 1964 in Manchester, New Hampshire.To this day, only one of these killings has been officially solved. Even then, whether or not the one man accused of these crimes ever truly faced justice is up to debate even now.If you have information regarding this case, contact the New Hampshire <a href="https://www.doj.nh.gov/criminal/cold-case/index.htm" target="_blank">Cold Case Unit</a> at (603) 271-2663, <a href="mailto:coldcaseunit@dos.nh.gov" target="_blank">coldcaseunit@dos.nh.gov</a>, or <a href="https://business.nh.gov/ColdCaseTips/Tip.aspx" target="_blank">leave a tip</a>.   View source material and photos for this episode at <a href="https://darkdowneast.com/valademasonpaquette/">darkdowneast.com/valademasonpaquette</a>Follow @darkdowneast on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/darkdowneast/">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/darkdowneast">Facebook</a>, and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@darkdowneast">TikTok</a>To suggest a case visit <a href="http://darkdowneast.com/submit-case">darkdowneast.com/submit-case</a>  Dark Downeast is an audiochuck and Kylie Media production hosted by Kylie Low.
