Nearly 50 years after her body was found in Marlborough, NH, authorities have identified Nancy Gale Erickson, a missing nurse from Vermont and Florida.
Officially identified. The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office announced the breakthrough Wednesday, crediting advancements in forensic science and collaboration across multiple agencies. According to a news release, Erickson’s identity was confirmed through DNA testing conducted between 2022 and 2024, which matched samples from her siblings to the remains recovered in Marlborough on April 16, 1974.
Erickson was last seen in Brattleboro, Vermont in October 1973. In April 1974, the body of an unidentified woman was discovered in some woods in New Hampshire.
With the help of forensic testing, authorities identified a young woman at the center of a mysterious cold case, more than 50 years after her body was found in the woods along a New Hampshire highway.
