NEW CASTLE, N.H. — More than three decades ago, the bludgeoned remains of 59-year-old David Pickett were found on a New Hampshire beach. The case rocked the Granite State.
Investigators on Wednesday appealed to the public to help solve the 1993 murder of Pickett, whose remains were found on a beach in New Castle on Feb. 4, 1993, state police said in a Facebook post on Wednesday.
