A Decade of Unanswered Questions: Families Plead for Justice in Haunting Manchester Double Murder

Ten years have passed, yet for the families of Denise Robert and Robert “Bobby” Goyette, the calendar remains tragically stuck on June 13, 2014. A decade ago, their lives were irrevocably shattered when Robert and Robert were found shot to death inside a residence on Hinsdale Street in Manchester.

Today, the raw grief is still palpable, intensified by the agonizing absence of justice and the identity of the person or people responsible for their brutal murders.

Denise Robert, a loving mother of five, and Robert Goyette, a man with a kind heart, were at the prime of their lives. Their sudden and violent deaths left an immense void that no passage of time can truly fill.

For their children, siblings, and friends, every anniversary of that fateful day reopens wounds that have never had the chance to fully heal because the essential closure of an arrest and conviction remains elusive.

The Manchester Police Department and state authorities have tirelessly pursued leads in this complex cold case.

Despite extensive investigations, forensic analysis, and numerous interviews over the years, no arrests have been made. This lack of resolution is a constant torment for the families, who cling to the hope that new information, a fresh perspective, or a conscience stirred by time will finally bring the answers they so desperately seek.

Family members often speak of the unbearable weight of not knowing.

They carry the burden of ‘what if’ scenarios and the frustration of seeing the person responsible walk free. Their public pleas are not just for themselves, but for Denise and Robert, whose voices were silenced that tragic night. They remember their loved ones not for how they died, but for how they lived—the laughter, the memories, the love they shared—and fight to ensure their stories are not forgotten.

Authorities continue to emphasize that this is an active and ongoing investigation.

They believe that someone in the community holds a vital piece of information, perhaps something that seemed insignificant at the time, but could be the key to unlocking this decade-old mystery. A substantial reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction, serving as a beacon of hope that justice can still prevail.

As the community reflects on this somber anniversary, the families of Denise Robert and Robert Goyette stand united in their unwavering resolve.

Their message is clear: they will not rest until justice is served. The pain of loss may endure, but so too does their steadfast commitment to finding the truth, ensuring that Denise and Robert can finally rest in peace, and their loved ones can begin the long journey toward healing.
