Return to index of stories...
The state has won new indictments alleging two Dartmouth College professors were murdered a year ago during a robbery.
The new information comes in indictments returned by a Grafton
County grand jury against Robert Tulloch, one of two teens charged
in the deaths of Half and Susanne Zantop.
The new charges follow a plea agreement by the other Vermont
teen charged in the deaths. As part of the agreement, James Parker
pleaded guilty to helping kill the Zantops and promised to give
authorities a full account of what happened.
script iconPSNH Rates
Return to index of stories...
PSNH refinanced millions of dollars in bonds this week, and customers could reap the benefits with a rate cut. But not any time soon. The refinancing will save the utility about ten million dollars in interest each year. Spokesman Martin Murray says rates won't change because of the move. But, Murray said, the lower cost of doing business could produce lower rates when the company goes before regulators to set new rates by 2004.
script iconHomeless Day
Return to index of stories...
Today was national Homeless Memorial Day, dedicated to those who have died homeless.
Dozens of people gathered after dark at the Statehouse in Concord Friday night to hear the governor's proclamation, state officials and others addressing the need to address the needs of homeless people everywhere.
A candlelight vigil was also held at Veterans Park in Manchester.


script iconGround Zero Letter
Return to index of stories...
A Rochester woman whose mail survived the World Trade Center attack met the man who rescued it. Donna Snyder met Larry Toto on the set of NBC's Today Show Thursday. Snyder's check to her vacation club is believed to have been aboard one of the planes that crashed into the Trade Center's towers. Toto found the charred envelope on a street in New York and put it back in the mail. The letter could be valuable. A piece of mail recovered from the Hindenburg -- the airship that crashed in New Jersey in 1937 -- brought about 50-thousand dollars. Snyder said she's been approached by several auctioneers and the Smithsonian Institution, but hasn't made a decision.
