Murder and Mayhem: True Crime in New Hampshire with Milli Knudsen

Event Description: The Stories Behind the Headlines… Two immigrant lumbermen have a fiddling contest. What could go wrong? Fifty years after a brutal knife attack, what Christmas miracle happened to a woman in North Adams, MA? Could a “one-legged” man really rescue a boatload of drowning people and single-handedly raid houses without being caught? In Murder and Mayhem: True Crime in New Hampshire 1883-1915, veteran author and genealogist Milli Knudsen looks at the shocking history of true crime in New Hampshire. In the years from 1883 to 1915, the ways to commit crimes and the ways to investigate crime changed dramatically. Knudsen has captured fascinating stories from those years in this, her seventh book. AUTHOR MILLI KNUDSEN was born and brought up in Maine. She has a BA in Elementary Education and Social Sciences from the University of Southern Maine and a master’s degree as a Reading Specialist. For years, she had a genealogical research company called Rootin’ for You and became interested in creating genealogical support material. Seven previous titles—What’s News in Coos County, Volumes 1 & 2; The Knowledge of Mankind; Manchester in the Mirror; ‘Til Divorce Do Us Part; Hard Time in Concord, and Obliged to Ask for Relief—were published by Heritage Books in Maryland. Milli started volunteering with the NH Cold Case Unit in 2019, became a paralegal/data analyst in 2022, and began working with NH’s Major Crimes Unit in 2024.
