Concord, NH – Attorney General John M. Formella, State Police Colonel Nathan Noyes, and Northfield Police Chief John Raffaelly announce that on Saturday, August 6, 2022, the New Hampshire State Police in conjunction with other law enforcement agencies will be in Northfield and Tilton in the areas of Wethersfield Road, Shaker Road, Tilton Road, and Laconia Road, as well as the ramp areas entering Route 93 for the continued investigation into the homicides of Kassandra Sweeney, age 25, and her two sons Benjamin Sweeney, age 4, and Mason Sweeney, age 1.

The search activity poses no danger to the public and will consist of a search for physical evidence.
