25 Years of Silence: A Daughter's Unwavering Quest for Justice in Denise Robert's Murder

Twenty-five years. A quarter of a century has passed since Denise Robert, a vibrant 34-year-old woman, vanished from Manchester, New Hampshire. Twenty-five years of unanswered questions, of a mother's absence, and of a daughter's unwavering search for truth. As the grim 25th anniversary approaches in August 2025, Denise's family is organizing a powerful memorial walk, a testament to their enduring love and their unyielding hope for justice.

Denise Robert was last seen in August 2000.

For months, her loved ones endured agonizing uncertainty, until March 2001, when her remains were tragically discovered in the woods of Bedford. Her death was officially ruled a homicide, but despite extensive investigations, the person or persons responsible for taking Denise's life have never been brought to justice.

Her case remains one of New Hampshire's most poignant and enduring cold cases.

At the heart of this tireless pursuit for answers is Denise's daughter, Christine Robert-Paquin. For Christine, the passage of time has not dulled the pain of losing her mother, nor has it diminished her resolve. "It's been 25 years," Robert-Paquin shared, her voice carrying the weight of decades of grief and frustration.

"It's a long time. It feels like yesterday." This sentiment encapsulates the raw, persistent sorrow that families of unsolved homicide victims carry every single day.

The memorial walk, scheduled for August 2025 in Manchester, is more than just an event; it's a profound act of remembrance and an urgent plea.

Its purpose is multifaceted: to honor Denise's memory, to ensure she is never forgotten, and crucially, to reignite public interest in her case. The family hopes that by bringing Denise's story back into the spotlight, someone who holds a piece of the puzzle might finally come forward.

Christine and her family are clinging to the belief that even after 25 years, new information could emerge.

Memories fade, circumstances change, and sometimes, a conscience weighs heavily enough to break years of silence. They are appealing directly to anyone who might have seen something, heard something, or knows something, no matter how insignificant it may seem. Every detail could be the key to unlocking the truth and providing the closure they so desperately need.

The walk will serve as a poignant reminder that while the calendar pages turn, the pain of an unsolved murder lingers, casting a long shadow over families and communities.

It’s a powerful call for accountability, a public declaration that Denise Robert’s life mattered, and her killer must be found. The family urges anyone with information regarding Denise Robert's murder to contact the Manchester Police Department. For them, justice delayed is not justice denied, but merely justice postponed, and they will continue their fight until it is finally served.
