98: MURDER: Trish Haynes

In January 2018, 25-year-old Trish Haynes returned to New Hampshire for a court date. She planned to stay just a few months and then head back to Florida, where her grandparents were waiting for her.

But that return trip never happened.

After moving in with an old classmate and her husband - Ashley and Doug Smith - Trish’s contact with her family dropped off. And by July, she was officially reported missing.

Weeks later, investigators found her jawbone inside a washer that had been dumped in a nearby pond. 

To this day, no one has been arrested. And Trish’s family is still waiting for justice.

Trish Haynes was last heard from on May 16, 2018, during a brief phone call with her grandmother. She was staying with Ashley and Doug Smith at their rental property in Grafton, New Hampshire.

In late August, police searched the Smiths’ home. A second search led them to Grant Pond, less than a mile away, where investigators recovered a washer containing Trish’s jawbone. The rest of her remains have never been located. 

If you have any information that could help this case, you can call the New Hampshire State Police at 603-223-4381.
