PINKHAM NOTCH -- Ten years ago the body of Canadian psychologist Louise Chaput was found brutally murdered off the Glen Boulder Trail.
Since that time, friends and family of Chaput have actively worked to keep the case alive. This past weekend, as they have most years near the anniversary of Chaput’s murder, they traveled to Pinkham Notch to meet with law enforcement and members of the media.
