50-year-old Paul Morey was charged with a fugitive from justice charge on a video conference call in a New Hampshire court in connection with the death of 42-year-old Patricia Donaldson.
The incident occurred on Tuesday when officers were dispatched to a residence on Cabot Street for a well-being check. Once there, officers found Donaldson dead.
