New Hampshire’s Attorney General Gordon J. MacDonald, New Hampshire State Police Colonel Christopher J. Wagner and Londonderry Police Chief William R. Hart Jr. announced on Friday, Apr. 5 in a news release that an investigation was opened and is ongoing into the suspicious death of an adult female in Londonderry, New Hampshire.
At first, the state and local law enforcement officials did not release the woman’s identity, until her relatives received the notice, but a State Police Major Crimes Unit’s truck was parked for many hours near a property at 118 West Road in Londonderry and the Londonderry Police was present at the scene as well.
Eventually, in a second news release, the woman was identified as 41-year-old Maureen Argie. Police involvement in this case began, according to the news release, when in the evening of Thursday, Apr. 4, officers from the Londonderry Police Department conducted a welfare check at a residence on 118 West Road and found Ms. Argie inside the house, and classified it as a suspicious death.
An autopsy on Ms. Argie’s body was conducted the next day, on Friday, April 5, by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, but the results were inconclusive and the cause and manner of Ms. Argie’s death are pending further studies and investigation, according to the Attorney General’s statement.
As the investigation on this death case is active and ongoing, officials asked anyone who may have information to contact Detective Sergeant Justin Rowe of the New Hampshire State Police at 603-223-4381 or email him at Justin.rowe@ dos.nh.gov.
Online records show that Ms. Argie moved to 118 West Road, Londonderry from Salem on Dec. 18, 2006. She was married to William Argie, 46, who is listed as a physician assistant. It was confirmed that Ms. Argie was an office volunteer at the Community Caregivers of Greater Derry, who’s office is in Londonderry.
