Byline: NH Attorney General's Office

As part of a bipartisan coalition of 28 states, NH Attorney General John Formella announced he is filing a lawsuit on behalf of New Hampshire consumers, objecting to the proposed sale of personal genetic information collected by 23andMe. The complaint and a separate objection to the bankruptcy sale, each filed in federal bankruptcy court, aim to stop 23andMe from auctioning off the private genetic data of roughly 15 million customers to the highest bidder without customers’ knowledge or consent.

More than five decades later, the Cold Case Unit remains committed to solving this crime. New Hampshire Department of Justice Deputy Chief Investigator Todd Flanagan, currently assigned to the case, recently visited Joanne’s burial site and was deeply saddened to find her grave remained unmarked. In coordination with the NH DOJ’s Office of Victim/Witness Assistance and Victim’s Compensation Program, steps were immediately taken to assist the Dunham family in placing a headstone at her gravesite.

The New Hampshire Department of Justice Consumer Protection and Antitrust Bureau are alerting residents to an active scam targeting New Hampshire consumers through fraudulent text messages falsely claiming to be from the New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

The evidence at the scene, including ligatures and shell casings from a single firearm, suggested this was anything but random. Despite a comprehensive investigation conducted at the time of his death, those responsible for Paul’s murder have evaded justice for three decades.

A new “smishing” scam targeting New Hampshire E-ZPass users has been detected by the state Attorney General. The scam involves fraudulent text messages that purport to be from E-ZPass to trick recipients into clicking malicious links and providing sensitive personal information.
