It seems that Eddy's father has only just died, at the age of 93 on 21st February. See Obituary of Seymour Mermelstein | Joseph A. Scarano Pines Memorial Chapel . The obituary has an error where it gives his dob as 1944 (this should read 1924). Eddy's mother, Anita, died in 2012. As Eddy was an only child (I believe from various genealogy sources) this means there are no longer any close relatives alive.
One thing which has puzzled me about this case is the question of why Eddy moved to New Hampshire. She was originally from New Jersey, her family were in Florida and, as far as I ca find out, she had no connection with Nashua (or New Hampshire). It may be irrelevant, but I do wonder if her reason for moving introduces any information of interest.[/QUOTE]
The Venezuela piece of info is...interesting.
I would like to know more about the husband/divorce. And about the child--are either the ex-husband or the child interested in knowing what happened to her?
She was also dating up in NH, would like to know more about who she was seeing. Of course, everything seems to be at a dead stop or dead end with her case :/ Not giving up hope but it's hard to determine any leads, especially when there doesn't seem to be any movement on the police end.
Not sure about those who could have commented but didn't, but I took another look at google maps for reference and determined another route the kidnapper(s) could have taken--there are a series of gas stations right off Rt 3 (some may not have been there in '77, but surely there was still one or two). She may have gotten in the car and noticed it was short on fuel just as she was getting on her way. From the gas stations you just need to hop onto Blue Hill Ave/Pine Hill Rd, take another turn and then there's Wheeler. From there you get the paths leading to Parker Pond, where the car was roughly located. Still wish we knew a more exact location for the vehicle, but alas.

Whether she was taken from Pennichuck Square or a gas station, it still really bothers me that she seems to most likely have been nabbed in what one would expect to be fairly populated locations, in broad daylight.
It will be 44 years in six days.
“The car was abandoned near a stolen Ford that had been left years ago after being driven into Parker Pond.”
The Nashua Telegraph article also mentions the Oldsmobile being found near the Ford.
Father wants no pain
So there’s two, actually three abandoned vehicles in the vicinity of Parker Pond today. There’s what looks like a Jeep halfway down Break Neck Hill (a path which connects Parker Pond to Baxter Rd). There’s an early sixties Dodge on the South End of Parker Pond, and on the North End of Parker a mid sixties Ford Galaxie. The Dodge is on the shore partially in the water. The Galaxie is near the shore.
My question is the following. Was the Oldsmobile ditched near the Dodge (in the South end) or the Ford (in the North end)? Alternatively, the Dodge isn’t clearly distinguishable a Dodge. Was it mistakenly called a Ford?
