CONCORD — A report on the murder of 25-year-old Berlin resident Marisol Fuentes Huaracha by her estranged husband, who was out on $5,000 bail for rape and theft and subject to a restraining order and who then killed himself, was issued Tuesday by Attorney General John M. Formella.
The NH DOJ Homicide Unit’s report detailed how Fuentes Huaracha’s husband, Michael Gleason Jr., was exerting greater and greater control over her, including taking her over the border to Canada right after the wedding in November 2024 before he shot her and himself to death on July 6 inside the restaurant where she worked in Berlin.
