Murdered Newspaper Employee to Be Laid to Rest

Investigators are still trying to figure out why Denise Robert, 62, was shot

A woman who was fatally shot on one of her weekly walks earlier this week in Manchester, New Hampshire, will be laid to rest Friday.

Investigators are still trying to figure out why Denise Robert, 62, was shot.

Robert was found dead around 9 p.m. on Sunday in the area of Ray and Carpenter streets.

She was remembered by her co-workers at the New Hampshire Union Leader during a candle-lit walk Thursday night.

A reward is now being offered for any clues that lead to an arrest in her death.

The Manchester Police Crimeline has contributed $2,500 to the reward fund. The Union Leader donated $5,000, and an anonymous donor contributed another $10,000. The amount is expected to grow.

The Manchester Crimeline will facilitate the reward, which will be granted to the person or persons who provides a tip leading to the arrest and conviction of a suspect or suspects involved in Robert's murder.

To leave a tip, call the crimeline at 603-624-4040 or go towww.manchestercrimeline.org.

Manchester Police said they have received about a dozen tips already, and they are continuing to follow up on those leads.
