## Resource

In February 2007, 25-year-old Carrie Hicks was found dead in a rural New Hampshire home with two gunshot wounds to the head, launching a nearly two-decade-long cold case investigation. New forensic analysis by the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit has now identified 51-year-old Wayne Ring as her killer, resolving the case as a murder followed by an attempted suicide. This episode examines the evidence, the victims’ stories, and the power of persistent investigation in delivering long-overdue closure
