38:54 Share

Over thirty years have gone by without the answers for the violent death of David picket on a quiet new england beach. When an investigation by police failed to get justice, David sister decided to seek justice on her own terms, even if the suspect was her own blood. I'm highly loud. This is the case of David packet on dark Dennis.

February ary, fourth thousand, nine hundred and ninety three was a cold, cold morning in newcastle, new hampshire. The temperature wouldn't break freezing all day, but for new in linders who know how to dress for the occasion, there are a few situations more precious than a beach walk in the winter. It's calm and quiet.

Everything takes on muted tones of gray and dark slate and White. What steps leave the distinct chain like impressions of L, L B boot trade in the sound? That morning was different, though, around six fifteen A M, as the bronze atlantic waters gently washed over the rocks and sand of newcastle beach.

What should have been a peaceful stroll for two residents and their dog was interrupted by something that didn't belong, according to reporting by Robert cook for Foster's daily democrat, laying there in the sand was the body of a man caked in snow and blood. He was wearing beige clothing and a reflective jacket, but he didn't have any shoes on. Rather, a pair of boots were placed neatly beside his body.

Part time newcastle police officer dan barret was among the first of dozens of police officers to arrive at the scene. He found the man to have a wound to his neck so severe that the man's head was nearly severed from his body. The next day, when the chief medical examiner released his findings, the identity of the victim was also announced to the shock of the tiny island community.

The man found dead on newcastle beach was fifty nine year old David packet. The resulting shock over David pickets death. His murder just about bowled over the town of newcastle.

Many of the less than nine hundred residents had deep roots and extensive family history in the area, including David family, the packets for a man who had lived in town since he was a Young boy who was known as a quiet, friendly and kind man who enjoyed his solo walk through town to then turn up dead under such violent circumstances, IT was difficult for everyone to reconcile. According to his death certificate, David pick died as a result of an insight. Ed wound to the neck, new hampshire ate.

Police also say now David sustained a stab wound to his back, although the manner and circumstances of his death were still in their investigation, state police were treating the death as a homicide and had sealed off the beach location as a crime scene. Investigators searched the sand for clues, while the U. S.

Coast guard assisted in the search of the water just offshore. A search was also underway at David's apartment located across the street from town hall. His vehicle was still parked in the town hall lot, for he was known to leave IT after work.

Although there was a flurry of activity in the tiny seaside down during those first few days of the investigation, police weren't able to say if theyd found anything and did not disclose if a murder weapon had been recovered. Meanwhile, police were also reaching out to anyone and everyone who knew David in his habits. They spoke with his co workers friends acquittance ces and his family members, including his sister mary hopwood and his brother Robert packet.

And as police soon learned this was not one big happy family. Mary hopwood d knew that her brothers didn't get along. Ever since their mother, gertrude passed away in nineteen nineteen eighty four, things had showered between the saplings at the center of their disagreements was often in money and the ancestral home at a eleven sea breeze land in newcastle.

According to reporting by Karen and dann for the port Smith herald, after their mother's passing, the cottage was left to David, Robert and marry equally. The brothers had lived there together while their mother was still alive, and decided to continue living in the house together. But as mary knew, IT was David, who Carried the bulk of the financial responsibility to keep the house of float ocean front.

Taxes aren't exactly cheap, and the cottage was at least a century old that required repairs and maintenance. The disputes of our costs were never ending. And mary said that the wedge between David, Robert, was driven deeper and deeper over the years.

IT became so bad that even though they were living under the same roof, the brothers would male things to each other, rather than have a face to face interaction. But maybe that was for the best because, as mary claimed, one such interaction turned violent. Their fights had always been a war of words, the hurling of insults and harsh words at the top of their lungs, loud enough for neighbors to hear.

But things came to ahead in march of thousand nine hundred and ninety, when David allegedly threatened Robert with a fireplace poker and Robert responded with a kitchen knife, slashing David in the ARM. After that incident, David moved out of the sea, ease home and into an apartment across from town hall, leaving Robert the place to himself. They didn't see or speak to each other after that, except for one interaction, where David brought a contractor over to the house to see about converting IT into a duplex so brother could have his own space.

But that renovation never happened. They occasionally saw each other in passing around town as David kept up with his daily walks. Even though he had moved out, David still helped pay for the expenses, but he thought he shouldn't be responsible, foreign, equal amount of the costs.

Since he didn't live there, he wanted his brother to cover a greater share. But that wasn't an easy subject approach. In the past, when they were living together, David would pay the bills in full and then ask Robert for his portion.

But now David wanted Robert to pay the bill directly. So when the nineteen ninety two property taxes came due, David milked the bill to Robert. A few days later, David got the tax bill back unpaid.

IT was the final straw for David, according to court records on january twenty fourth, one thousand nine hundred and ninety three, David cultish sister mary and told her he was going to force the sale of the house with a petition for partition. It's the last resort legal action, when property owners can't decide what to deal and asks the core to force the sale of the house and distribute the proceeds according to each party's percentage of ownership. So basically, if Robert can contribute his share, David would see to IT that the house would cease to belong to any of the picket family members.

Mary wanted to go with David to talk to Robert about IT. David insisted that he could handle in himself. Just ten days after that declaration to marry, David was murdered and left for dead on the same and lessen three hundred yards from the family home.

On the morning of february fourth, one thousand nine hundred ninety three, Robert packet woke to a flurry of activity in his otherwise quiet. From the second floor window of the cottage, he could see that there were state and local police cruisers and emergency vehicles everywhere. But despite the unusual scene, Robert said he wasn't curious at all.

He just went about his morning, which began with finishing up smarts. He'd started the night before. According to court records, on february third, Robert had written four checks from his checkbook and then drove to the post office in the town of ri, about fifteen minutes away from newcastle.

He used two of the checks to purchase money orders made out to his brother David, one for one hundred and thirty two dollars to reimburse for a portion of the property taxes, and another for one hundred and sixty two dollars and seventy two cents noted as cash for oil in his check register. The other two personal checks were for a cable bill in a credit card bill. After purchasing the money orders for David, Robert said he decided to just go home because he wasn't feeling well, and he turned in early for the night.

The next morning, the fourth, he decided to drive back to the post office in right to mail. The checked had written the day before to pay the cable bill, but he said he decided not to make the money. Or is David from there? He said he stopped to grab some groceries and then went for a visit with an old friend in ports Smith before heading back to newcastle.

When robber pulled up to sea bry's lane late morning, he was greeted by a police officer who asked him to go down to town hall to be interviewed about a murder that happened the night before, when he arrived around eleven thirty A. M. That's when an officer informed Robert that the murder victim was his own brother, and he was found not far from Robert home on the beach.

Robert told police that the last time he saw his brother was months ago, when David was on one of his walk through town and robbert was driving on the same road. Although he live so close to the location of the body, Robert said he hadn't heard anything strained or concerning the night before, and he didn't have any idea what happened to David. Now, mary found out about David murder the same day is Robert SHE called him when he got the news, and SHE was instantly put on edge by Robert s.

response. Mary said Robert s. Words weren't ones of grief or morning. They were out of concern for his own fate now that David was dead.

SHE claimed that Robert asked, quote, are you going to throw me out on the street and, quote, to marry? This question seemed like Robert was aware of David's pending plans to force the sale of the house, which we've had him metaphorically out on the street. So SHE assumed that David had that conversation with their brother alone, just as he said he was going to deal.

Knowing the volatile history between her brothers, mary feared that Robert might have something to do with David murder, that the conversation about selling the house turned violent and now David was dead. Robert later claimed that IT wasn't David who told him about the legal action to force the sale of the house. IT was someone else, though he couldn't confidently identify the person, and that's why he asked mary if he was getting thrown out.

He maintained that he and David never had that conversation, and Robert didn't see his brother on feb ary third, mary was in touch with Robert in the days following David's murder. And during a conversation they had on february six, Robert spontaneously began recounting his movements. On the day David was found dead, he told her about visiting a friend and buying groceries, and then how he mailed money orders at the ride post office. The significance of that last portion that Robert mailed two money orders on the morning of february forth wasn't fully realized until an envelope arrived in Davids post office box after he died. IT wasn't necessarily the contents that sounded alarm bells for mary, but the address in the postmark to the estate of David picket, IT said, dated february fourth, one thousand nine hundred ninety three, the very same day he was found dead and IT came from their brother Robert.

In the days following David's murder, a parol argued in box six at the newcastle post office the box shared by Robert and David picket the envelope was addressed to the estate of David ticket and the postmark red, february fourth, one thousand nine hundred and ninety three P. M. Port smith, new hampshire.

Inside the envelope, two money orders from Robert for expenses related to the picket family cottage on sea bry's lane, one for one hundred and sixty five dollars and seventy two cents and the other for one hundred and thirty two dollars. You can see copies of the letter and the money waters at dark downing stock com. The attorneys handling David estate notified mary of the envelope.

That's when he fought back to what Robert said about how he spent the morning of february for groceries, visiting a friend, mAiling money orders. If he mailed these money orders in an envelope addressed to the estate of David picket in the morning before he was informed of David murder, the implication was serious. State police SAT down for another interview with robbert on february fourteen, and they discussed the money orders Robert purchase to reimburse his brother for household expenses.

He showed the lead investigators the receipts stated february third, one thousand nine hundred ninety three. He later claimed that he nail the money orders on the afternoon of february forth because he'd asked the officers he spoke with during his interviews that day what to do with them, and one of the officers told him to mail them to his brother's last known address and make the envelope out to his estate. So he says that's what he did, and he dropped them off in a mailbox on the afternoon of february forth, police knew about the tumultuous relationship between the two brothers, including the violent interaction with a knife that cause David to move out.

Robber didn't deny that the incident happened, but he said he was self defense, and the knife he used was dull and barely necked his brother's ARM. But whichever version is true, there was an undisputed history of animosity between Robert and David. Add that to the fact that David's body was just eight hundred feet from the home where Robert was living in the circumstances of the murder, pointing more towards a crime of passion than a random act, plus the confusing money order envelope situation.

Robert was emerging as a suspect, but IT was a pile of circumstantial evidence not enough for an arrest. Several months passed without any answers. Then on August tenth of that year, mary's daughter was visiting her uncle Robert when he again brought up his whereabout ts on the morning, David body was found on the beach. He stated once again that he mailed money orders at the ride post office on the morning of february ary forth. Robert sis reported this conversation to investigators, and that's when a plan was hatched to get Robert talking on tape.

Merry's daughter agreed .

to wear a wire and speak with her uncle over the course of a few months. On three separate occasions, he talked to Robert about David in the circumstances of his death, and eventually their chats turn to the enveloped money orders during the final recorded conversation on january thirty first nineteen ninety four, Robert allegedly stated again that he mailed money orders from the right post office on the morning of february fourth ninety ninety three.

Court documents show that Robert Smith then presented him with the letter and asked how he could have known to address the envelope to the estate of David picket if he hadn't been informed of his death yet. After a few moments of what the knee e described as incomprehension, shock and worry, Robert replied, quote, so what you're telling me needs is that if I tell you I mailed this envelope after the police told me he was dead, then everything's okay with you. And quote, the conversations between the niece and Robert didn't prove anything except that Robert story about the money orders was inconsistent.

There was an argument to be made that he may have known David was dead before police told himself at town hall that morning, mary waited to hear of these recorded stations and then any other evidence would lead to an arrest. But IT didn't happen on the one year anniversary of David's death, which was just a few days after mary's daughter confronted Robert with the envelope. New hampshire state police announced a ten thousand dollar reward for information in hopes of generating new conversation about David's case around the eighteen months mark when the reward hadn't shaken out enough new information for an arrest of Robert or anyone else, mary decided to take matters into her own hands.

In july of nineteen ninety ninety four, mary hopwood filed a petition in rocking him tony probe court. Her brother David had died without a will. And so according to news hampshire law, his estate would be distributed to the air at law, which included marian Robert.

However, with the suspicions SHE held, mary didn't want Robert to receive a dime of David estate. SHE alleged that Robert killed David and therefore he shouldn't be able to benefit from his death. And so IT began in almost decade long battle by mary in civil court, not criminal court, prove that robber killed David.

Her case was hinged on the brother's long past of turmoil and disputes, at least one turning into physical violence. And the suspect envelope mailed to David the state on the same day he was found dead. Mary didn't have to meet the same criminal trial standard for guilt to beyond reasonable doubt.

In a case like this, the evidence standard is typically a preponderance of evidence without getting too far in the weeds. S here, these terms are important. In legal proceedings, different levels of certainty are required to prove the case.

The preponderance of evidence standard is used in most civil cases, IT means that the evidence must show that one sides version of the fact is more likely true than not. On the other hand, clear and convincing evidence is a higher standard requiring that the evidence must be highly probable or reasonably certain to be true. This means the evidence must be clear and leave no serious or substantial doubt.

IT is sometimes used in civil cases, including family law, or where certain rights might be revoked. Then of course, there is beyond a reasonable doubt, the highest standard of proof used in criminal cases. This does not mean an absolute certainty, but IT does mean that the level of doubt must be insignificant to the point where a reasonable person would have no hesitation finding the defendant guilty based on the evidence.

Okay, mini, lawless and over. Mary insisted that her brother David was a peace loving man, men who had no known enemies other than Robert SHE hoped judge would see that the evidence SHE presented was enough to show IT was more likely than not Robert killed David and so he shouldn't be able to benefit from his death. Robert picket denied any involvement in David slurred.

He believed that mary wagging this war in civil court was an act of greed, that he wanted his portion of David sizeable estate for herself. Although the burden of proof was on mary, Robert claimed to have a theory of what really happened, and he would present witnesses who could speak to that theory at trial. The civil trial played out of rocking him down ny.

Superior court in late september into october of one thousand nine hundred ninety six, after getting tied up and delayed in pretrial motions and hearings regarding what evidence would be allowed at trial, mary wanted the tapes, or at least the transcripts of those recorded conversations between her daughter and Robert to be included as evidence in the civil case because he believed that they were the best piece of proof that Robert was responsible for David's murder. But the judge ruled that the attorney generals investigative file on the case, including the recordings of the taped conversations between robbert in his knees, would not be included as evidence at trial. Nevertheless, mary presented her case mainly the envelope addressed to the estate of David ticket and testimony about when I was allegedly mailed.

Although the taped conversations were not admitted as evidence, mary's daughter and Robert himself were able to testify to the nature and content of those conversations. Robbert testified that the original enveloping question was made out to just David pocket, not the estate of David picket, and he changed the address and mailed IT on the afternoon of february fourth only after a state trooper told him where to send IT. However, three state troopers testified that they had no memory of advising Robert how to address and male envelope.

When chAllenged on why he told his knees, he mailed money orders in the morning of february for robbert blamed that he was confused because he actually mailed something else that morning, he said he mailed two bills, one for cable and one for a credit card, but not the money orders to David. But again, David's explanation was refuted when a witness from the cable company was called to testify. The cable company employee said that they received a check for payment from Robert ticket on feber.

Third, he couldn't have mailed IT on the morning of the fourth if the company had already received the check the day before. Even though there were conflicting versions of when the envelope with the money orders was mailed, robbert argued that the postmark stamp was proof that he sent IT only afternoon of february ary fourth, along with the date and location, IT said. Pm, that distinction on the postmark, he argued, meant IT was mailed in the afternoon after Robert was notified that David died.

Robert also stated that even if he wanted to kill David, he was physically incapable of doing so. A doctor testified to the state of rubber s health at the time his brother was killed and robber reportedly had a heart condition. He couldn't breathe well in cold air, and David was bigger and stronger than him.

So IT was unlikely that Robert could have pulled off a murder, let alone a vicious knife attack that would require a close physical altercation with someone who might be able to overpower in attacker in Robertson condition. But Robert didn't stop defending himself there. He suggested an alternative or theory and even presented a witness to testify that perhaps a double crossing hit man had slashed his brother throw.

During the civil trial, Robert pickets attorney called the witness a friend of both Robert and David, to share what they believed could be the truth about what happened to David. The friend said that one day, as he and David were walking down the beach in front of the family home on cebriones lane, David allegedly said to him that he would read about a murder in newcastle someday.

The friend has David to clarify what exactly he meant by that, but David didn't elaborate. When the friend later learned that David had been murdered, his mind went back to that cryptic conversation. He wondered if David had been planning something.

The first theorized that maybe David hired a hit man to kill his brother Robert, but something went alright. And instead the hittner killed David when he went to pick up payment that february in one thousand nine ninety four. The friend suggested that David kept money in his boot, and that's why his boots were off when his body was discovered on the beach.

For the record, investigators have never disclosed if any money or other valuables were missing from David pockets or if he did, in fact, keep money in his boots, or if robbery appear to be a motive in David staff. As for mary SHE simply thought that the hit man theory was absurd. The story that the witness told was just that, a story built on speculation and absolutely no basis in fact, at the end of IT, all Robert said that he lost someone too.

He loved David, and he even kept a photo of his brother at his house and had placed flowers on his grave. He was sure his sister, an inactive greed, was trying to bring him down for their brother's murder, and he hoped the judge would see at his way. In november of one thousand nine hundred and ninety six, a private judge ruled in favor of Robert ticket.

The judge decided that the evidence presented by mary needed to meet the clear and convincing standard, not the preponderance of evidence standard typically used in civil cases. When SHE failed to do so, the judge found that there was, quote, no actual evidence that robber and David met about forcing the sale of the house and that the postmark details, february fourth thousand nine hundred and ninety three, four smith, new hampshire pm, would not have been used on an envelope pe if Robert, in fact, melt the envelope in the morning. With that, Robert was allowed to inherit his portion of David estate to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Mary filed a motion for reconsideration, but IT was denied in december of that year. A month later, mary took the issue all the way to the new hampshire supreme court. A slow and steady process.

By the summer of two thousand, IT had been more than seven years since David was killed and seven long years of mary fighting to prevent who he believed was responsible for his murder from cloying into his estate. But mary eventually got some version of a win. On August twenty third, two thousand, the state supreme court ruled that the lower court used the wrong standard of proof.

When IT decided if Robert picket should get his share of his lean brothers estate, the lower court was seeking clearing convincing evidence that Robert was responsible for David death, but the standard should have been pondering of the evidence, according to the high court. The high court also found that the lower court abused its discretion when IT refused to admit a sealed transcript of the taped conversation between Robert and his knees. The state actually hadn't objected to those transcripts being included in the civil trial, so then they could have been considered as part of the project case and the lower court shouldn't have excluded them.

So the state supreme court sent the case back to provoke court for a new trial. IT was a second chance for mary to get what he felt was justice for her brother David, in absence of an arrest and criminal proceedings. This civil action against Robert to prevent him from benefiting from David's murder, a murder that mary maintained Robert was responsible for, was the best he felt he could do with the current circumstances back where they had started.

Robert suspected involvement in David's death was about to be scrutinised in civil court for a second time, but he had since obtained new council and they filed a motion for the attorney general office to release the entire file on the murder investigation, not just the tapes that we're beneficial to mary's case having the entire file released for review, Robert believed, would exonerate him. Release of the entire case file wasn't about to fly though, you know, the phrase is all too well. Release of documents pertaining to an open and active homicide investigation could jeopardize the integrity of the case, but the second trial began in september of two thousand one, and at least the recorded conversations were allowed as evidence.

This time, they were reviewed in camera, meaning they were sealed and would not be publicly disclosed. Also different this time around, mary chAllenged Roberts claim that the P. M. Distinction in the postmark meant he could have only mailed IT from ports math in the afternoon, the distribution supervisor at the port smith, new hampshire ale distribution center prepared in after David, which states but IT is not possible to stay precisely the date, time or place a particular envelope was deposited for milling. Even if the postmark includes a date, location and A M P M distinction, the distribution supervisor goes on to state that the mailed to the estate of David picket could have been mailed after the last pick up of the previous day. That would be very third or early in the morning of february th, and IT would bear the same postmark regardless of when I was actually dropped in a mailbox.

A postmark only proves that a partial passed through a distribution center in the post marking question did not necessarily support Roberts claim that IT was proof he melt IT in the afternoon of february forth in october two thousand one, rockingham county y superior court judge Christina onie ruled on the second attempt by mary to get Robert excluded from David estate and for a second time, the judge ruled that the evidence presented still did not support a finding that Robert were the David is IT any surprise that mary wasn't finished yet? Despite the hope by robbert that his sister would drop the matter, mary kept going. SHE filed a motion for reconsideration.

That motion was denied. And so just as he had done before, mary asked the new hampshire supreme court to weigh on the matters at hand. Robert wouldn't see the end of that state supreme court appeal, though he died in january two thousand and two at the age of seventy one, following a battle with lung cancer.

As mary said to heb. Perry for the for Smith hald, I don't have any feelings of sadness from his death. I feel sadness that the judge didn't follow through with justice and SHE allowed him to lie. And that bothers me. In the wake of her second brother's death, mary intended to continue the fight to prevent the estate of Robert from benefiting from the estate of David.

SHE officially filed the appeal ten days later, but a little less than two months after Robert died, the news hampshire supreme court declined to hear her appeal of the second robot court ruling, so SHE filed a motion to reconsider. Interestingly, the state supreme court reversed its decision and decided to hear the case in two thousand. Three, based on all the same evidence and arguments mary had been making since the very first civil trial, the high court ruled for a second time that the case should return to private court.

Now for a third trial, around and around and around, mary had gone in pursuit of one thing, justice IT was never about the money. He wanted justice for David. And if IT wasn't coming from an arrest in criminal trial of the person SHE was sure killed him.

Mary could only take every single step available to hurt to prevent David's money landing in Robert hands. New hampshire judicial branch records show that David estate was closed in december of two thousand four IT seems the saga finally ended, and mary was on some level satisfied with how the estate was handled because he didn't fight IT to ky. Further, to dissipate any lingering fog over the entire project process and marries duo of appeals to the state's supreme court, the proceedings were a civil matter, not a criminal one.

A ruling in mary favor at any point along the line would not have meant jail time for Robert, but perhaps a financial hit for him and then his estate after his death in regards to any criminal matters during the nearly decade long span that the suit was in progress, new hamper state police and the attorney general office refused to comment on the status of the investigation and the evidence they had or didn't have against Robert ticket or any other suspect or if an arrest was imminent. But there was one thing they could say and confidently confirm about the case that Robert picket was in fact a suspect and his brother's murder. However, to this day, the case remains unsolved.

There was never enough evidence to charge Robert with his brother's s murder, not back in one thousand nine hundred ninety three, not during the long robot battle, and not before the suspect passed away. After Roberto's death, new hampshire ate police informed mary that they planned to search a safety deposit box for Roberts will and anything else that could develop into possible new clues or leads in David case, if that when anywhere is not public information. For the years that mary spent fighting in civil court to prove Robert killed David, SHE felt alienated by the community that was once so important to her and her family.

Marie's daughter told a reporter for the ports, Smith herold, that when her mother went back to newcastle during that time, nobody would talk to her for reasons unknown. Maybe they didn't know what to say, or maybe they feared speaking out against Robert or David or the situation as a whole. Whatever IT was the friendly conversations, SHE came to expect and enjoy y in her small new england town ceased to exist, while the lack of closure ate away at her each and every day.

All married daughter wanted for her mother was that closure. SHE hoped someday someone would come forward and unburden themselves of the information that could put their family tragedy arrest. Marie's daughter said in two thousand, I have to believe that somewhere out there is a person who knows something.

Maybe they noticed something a little odd, something they didn't think was relevant, but could make all the difference. I have to hope that they will get past any fear and come forward, even if they think their information is in. Consequently, mary said that an officer working on David's case once told her it's just like cane enable.

The comparison refers to the biblical story of the first two sons of ataman eve found in the book of genesis. In the bible, k and able were brothers, but their relationship ended in tragedy. Cane, the older brother, became envious of able, because god favoured able sacrifice over his own. In a fit of jealousy and anger, cae murdered abl, making IT the first recorded active violence between siblings and biblical history was David murder a cane able case of jealousy, rivalry and betrayal that ended in violence and tragedy.

Maybe could I have been something else, some other scenario with an unknown assailant who faded away on skyed by at all while a family was torn apart? Maybe was there any evidence of a double crossing hit male? As witness testimony suggested until the case is solved, the questions remain unanswered.

Mary hopwood passed away in twenty twenty three. Her bitchery, published in the conquered monitor mentions the family home in newcastle. And how was a little girl, SHE and her brothers and her parents moved into recently when I ized cottage, or they would spend their childhoods.

Mary appreciated the privilege that IT was to grow up on an island surrounded by the sea. That historic family home on sea breeze lane, which became the subject of many disputes between the picket brothers, was sold in one hundred and ninety four. And then I was torn down and rebuilt a news sometime in the late twenty ten, the massive ocean facing windows of the new multi million dollar house created picture frame around uninterrupted views of the same waters.

The David pocket once walked along during his ritual strolls on the beach where generations of pickets had walked before him and where his life one cold day ended, still without any answers as to why.
