Attorney General Joseph Foster and Colonel Robert Quinn announce that Wendell Noyes (age 52) has been arrested on a charge of second degree murder for the killing of Celina Cass by submerging her body in the Connecticut River. Noyes was Celina's step-father at the time of her murder.

The investigation into Celina's murder has remained active for the past five years. Today, a warrant for Noyes's arrest was issued. Noyes will be arraigned on June 21, 2016 at 3:00 p.m. in the 1st Circuit Court, Berlin-District.
