Murder of Jerry "Troub" Riley

On October 24, 1993, the skeletal remains of 45-year-old Jerry Riley were found in a remote wooded area off of Kettle Rock Rd. in Epsom, New Hampshire.  He had been killed from a gunshot wound to the head around 2 to 3 months earlier. He was killed elsewhere and his body was dumped there. His pockets were turned inside out likely to take anything out that would identify him.

Jerry was working at a Chinese Restaurant in Bedford and was a likable and polite young man. His former boss stated that he was initially a good worker, but after a few months and towards June his work habits worsened. He would come in late or call in. It was suspected by his boss that he may have a drinking problem as he was partying a lot. He was suspended twice from his job for this and he would quit and tell his former boss he got a new job in Concord. He was last seen in July by his former boss.
