Mass. man drunken drove, sped at over 100 mph prior to crash at N.H. toll plaza, police say
A Massachusetts driver is facing charges after he sped at over 100 mph, drunken drove and ultimately crashed at the Hooksett Toll Plaza in New Hampshire early Thursday morning, according to New Hampshire State Police. Rockland resident Tyler Murphy has been charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated, having an open container of alcohol in a vehicle and resisting arrest in connection with the incident, State Police said in a press release Thursday. On July 17 around 6:20 a.m., New Hampshire State Police responded to a report that a white, four-door sedan with Massachusetts plates was driving erratically on I-93 north in Londonderry, State Police said. The car was seen changing lanes aggressively, passing cars in the breakdown lane and speeding at over 100 mph. About an hour later, State Police received additional reports of a car matching the description of the sedan exhibiting similar dangerous driving behaviors while traveling south on I-93 in Northfield, State Police said. Troopers again responded to the area to try to find the car. At 7:44 a.m., a single-vehicle crash was reported on I-93 south in Hooksett, State Police said. Troopers responded and found that a white Audi S4 had crashed into the center barrier between the open road toll lanes and the cash toll booths at the toll plaza. Troopers also learned the Audi caught fire following the crash, but that the driver — who was later identified as Murphy — was able to get out on his own, State Police said. Several drivers who passed the scene stopped to offer medical aid and helped extinguish the fire. Troopers soon noticed that Murphy was displaying signs of alcohol impairment, State Police said. He was taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries and later arrested. Murphy is scheduled to appear in Hooksett District Court on Aug. 7, State Police said.

Mystery woman found dead in New Hampshire finally identified after more than 50 years
Woman found dead in New Hampshire identified after more than 50 years Woman found dead in New Hampshire identified after more than 50 years Woman found dead in New Hampshire identified after more than 50 years A woman found dead more than 50 years ago in the woods of Marlborough, New Hampshire, has finally been identified. Now investigators want to know exactly what happened to Nancy Gale Erickson. The previously unidentified body was discovered in a wooded area off Route 124 on April 16, 1974. Detectives believed the mystery woman had died in the late fall of 1973. New Hampshire authorities said Wednesday that forensic testing helped them to identify the young woman as Erickson. "After years of work on this case, putting a name to Nancy Gale Erickson is incredibly meaningful. It's more than solving a mystery — it's restoring her identity and honoring the life she lived. She was never forgotten," New Hampshire State Police Detective Sgt. Kelly LaPointe said in a statement. "We're deeply grateful to everyone whose efforts made this possible. Now the focus turns to understanding how and why she died." Erickson was 21 years old when she disappeared. Attorney General John Formella's office said she was born and raised in New York but moved to Tampa, Florida, to be with her mother and siblings. She was working as a nurse at a hospital there but suddenly left the state in 1973 with only a duffel bag, and her siblings said that her disappearance may have been due to "the emotional toll of her nursing work." Investigators say Erickson was then arrested in Bellows Fall, Vermont, for stealing a car. On Oct. 30, 1973, she abruptly left her job at the Brattleboro Retreat and was never heard from again. Authorities are now asking anyone who might have known Erickson to contact them. They are looking to speak with former employees of the Brattleboro Retreat, people who lived at the Community House in 1973, students who attended Corning Community College in New York between 1971 and 1972, and staff members at Tampa General Hospital.

He was taken into custody around 10:30 p.m., about two hours after the gunfire was first reported in Hampton Beach, records show.

'Despite the actions of a few individuals who have chosen to disrupt the peace and security of the community, Hampton remains a safe location thanks to the strong public safety presence and community support,' Reno said in the statement.
