Murder, She Told

• The Disappearance of Curtis Pishon

  2000 - Seabrook, New Hampshire. In the early morning hours of July 5, 2000, while working the Fourth of July graveyard shift as a security guard at Venture Corp in Seabrook, New Hampshire, Curtis Pishon vanished without a trace. Just after midnight, his car had mysteriously gone up in flames. Though the fire was later ruled arson, no one knows who set it—or why. That same night, Curtis disappeared. Both the Pishon family and investigators suspect foul play, and despite naming a person of interest, Curtis Pishon’s disappearance remains a mystery 25 years later.  This episode is dedicated to the memory of Curtis’s father, Nicholas E. Pishon, who passed away since our original interview was recorded. If you have any information on the disappearance of Curtis Pishon, please call the New Hampshire State Police Cold Case Unit tip line at (603) 271-2663 or toll free at 800-525-5555 or via email at [email protected].

• The Unsolved Murder of Dorothy Milliken, Part Two

  1976 - Lewiston, Maine. In the early hours of a November morning in 1976, Dorothy “Dotty” Milliken left her home  to do some late-night laundry in Lewiston, Maine. She never made it back. A local paperboy found her body just before dawn, outside Beal’s Laundromat. She had been beaten to death in what police called a frenzied attack. Tonia was just seven when her mother was killed—a traumatic loss that reshaped the course of her family’s future. In the years since, she’s worked to understand what happened. Now, a new book revisits the case, pulling together decades of theories, suspects, new interviews, and questions to form a possible picture of that night. But police are still missing a critical piece of the puzzle: the person that knows who killed Dorothy Milliken. If you have any information on the murder of Dorothy Milliken, please contact the Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit South at ⁠(207)624-7076⁠ x9. The family is offering a $10k reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for this crime.

• The Unsolved Murder of Dorothy Milliken, Part One

  1976 - Lewiston, Maine. On a cold November morning in 1976, 27-year-old Dorothy Milliken—Dotty to those who loved her—was found bludgeoned to death outside Beal’s Laundromat in Lewiston, ME. A paperboy made the grim discovery around 4:30 a.m. She’d gone out to do some late-night laundry, and while the city still slept, someone ended her life. Her killer has never been caught. As the years passed, Dorothy’s case went cold. But long before her name joined Maine’s growing list of unsolved murders, Dorothy Rancourt Milliken was living a quiet, honest life. She was a veteran. A survivor. A mother. This is her story.  If you have any information on the murder of Dorothy Milliken, please contact the Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit South at (207)624-7076 x9. The family is offering a $10k reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for this crime.

• The Murder of Lauren Morris

  1988 - Cranston, Rhode Island. Around 11 p.m. on July 19, 1988, a Cranston police officer came across an abandoned car in the breakdown lane of Route 10. The vehicle belonged to the mother of 18-year-old Lauren Morris, a recent graduate of Bristol High, who had been reported missing after borrowing it to run errands. Blood found inside the car suggested something was terribly wrong. Just beyond the guardrail, a short distance down the embankment, the officer discovered Lauren’s body floating in Spectacle Pond, a tire wrapped around her torso. Investigators pursued numerous leads, but none led to a definitive suspect. Despite early momentum, the investigation eventually went cold, leaving behind a trail of questions—and a family still searching for justice. If you have any information about the murder of Lauren Morris from 1988, please call Detective Robert Santagata of the Cranston Police Department at (401) 477-5169 or submit a tip to the Rhode Island AG’s Office Cold Case Unit at (401) 468-2233 or Episode sources and photos: https://murdershetold.com/episodes/lauren-morris Support Murder, She Told: ⁠⁠https://www.murdershetold.com/support⁠⁠ Learn more: ⁠⁠murdershetold.com⁠⁠ ----- Instagram: ⁠⁠@murdershetoldpodcast⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠/mstpodcast⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠@murdershetold⁠⁠ ------ Learn more about your ad choices.
