Denise’s brother, Tom, and sister in law, Judy, created some bumper stickers to remind people to send info about Denise’s murder to police.

It’s been 9 years since her death but police are still regularly receiving tips, largely from criminal suspects they have in custody. Some have added value to the investigation and police are encouraging people to share whatever they may know.

At last count, there is a reward of $40,000 to the person that leads to arrest/conviction of the perpetrator.

You can send your tips to Manchester Crimeline at 603-624-4040 or manchestercrimeline.org

We’re making these available to anyone who wants one. All you have to do is reach out and ask. We’d love to hear from you!

The Light the Way Foundation created a flyer, reminding people of the investigation into Denise’s murder.

The group will be posting it on their various social media sites and distributing it among their network of families and contacts.

It’s been seven years since we’ve met with law enforcement officials about Denise’s murder. But in the past seven days, we met with them twice!

Although we can’t divulge specifics of the conversation, they assured us that Denise’s cases is NOT a cold case – and they actively pursue leads on her case weekly.

The two meetings came after the family teamed up with Shayna Richard, the Founder of the Light the Way Foundation, an organization that advocates for the families of the missing and murdered.

Shayna Richard (far right) stands with Tom Robert (Denise’s brother) and Camille Robert (Denise’s niece) after a meeting at the Attorney General’s office in Concord.

Each of the meetings was led by Senior Assistant Attorney General Ben Agati, who offered a thoughtful and thorough summary of the investigation. There were some things he couldn’t share – but it was obvious that they care about this case and investigators are actively chasing down leads.

Shayna assisted the family in crafting questions for the meetings and is offering guidance and assistance on getting the word out about Denise’s case. She is also assisting four other victims families in NH – and 27 others nationwide!

“Shayna has been incredibly helpful to our family,” said John Robert, Denise’s brother. “I was so happy to meet her at the rally in August. She helps so many people and we are so thankful.”

Members of the Robert family met with the great people from Light the Way last week, in an effort to kickstart the investigation into their sister Denise’s murder.

The group has vast experience in working with police investigators at both the municipal and state level and they will be organizing a meeting with the New Hampshire state Attorney General’s office. At that meeting, at the very least, the family will get an update on the status of the investigation and will be able to ask pointed questions about what’s been going on.

Light the Way encourages families of unsolved murder victims to ask for an update meeting like this every 6 months, to show investigators they are concerned.

People from all across New England converged on Concord on August 13th to attend a rally held by the New Hampshire Coalition of Families of the Missing and Murdered.

The families shared powerful stories of death, grief and un-answered calls for help. Butafter shedding some tears, they all came away stronger than ever – and dedicated to uncovering the unsolved mysteries of the deaths of their loved ones.

There were a lot of great speakers at the event. But one of the most forceful calls for action came from Denise’s brother Joe, who encouraged those in attendance to reach out to the Attorney General’s office and voice their concerns

Hear his speech here…

The family of Denise Robert would like to thank all those who showed up for the event we held to remember her – and other victims of violence in Manchester.

We also want to thank those who volunteered for the neighborhood watch group. This will go a long way in unifying and protecting our community.

More things are happening behind the scenes, so there should be more news to report soon.

Join Denise Robert’s family in remembering her life Thursday, September 5th (6:30 pm) at Brookside Congregational Church on Elm St. in Manchester, NH.

Sept. 5: Remembering murder victim Denise Robert with Memorial Walk

We found some more pictures of Denise. Let us know if they remind you of any stories you can share …

We were able to find more pictures of Denise in a storage container. Here are some of them …

Denise sold a lot of newspaper ads (an Editor at one of the newspapers she worked at estimated she sold 70% of the ads in his publication). But, in this case, she was the ad.

Here’s one of Denise and Fran at Santa’s village.

 

Here is Denise with Dad (circa late 1990s).

This is Denise with her Aunt Elise and some neighborhood kids.

 

We couldn’t figure out what year this picture was taken but it  took place in our kitchen at the house on Sagamore Street.

Here’s Denise with Dad on his bike (Denise looks about 1 years old here.)

The response to our new Web site and facebook page  has been overwhelming!!!

So many of her old friends wrote us with inspiring stories from Denise’s life – and we’ll be sharing these soon.

The biggest surprise in all of this was that we heard from so many people we’ve never met before, who  had great insights into what happened that night.  We even heard from an DNA expert, who offered her help in Denise’s murder investigation.

For some reason, many of these people who contacted us forgot about the $40,000 reward being offered by Manchester Crimeline on this case. If you provide information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the people responsible for Denise’s murder, this money is all yours!

It’s become very clear to us that there is definitely someone out there that knows exactly what happened that night. And the momentum in this case tells us that something is about to break.

We thank the members of the  Manchester PD’s detective squad for leading this investigation. Without the relentless work of these super heroes, there wouldn’t be any hope for a resolution to this case.
