Six months after an 11-year-old New Hampshire girl disappeared from her home during the middle of the night, no suspects have been named in her abduction or death. However, a grand jury has heard testimony from members of Celina Cass' family as the lead prosecutor claims the investigation remains active.Cass vanished from her home on June 25, 2011 and her body was found in the Connecticut River a week later.
No arrests have been made and no persons of interest have been named in the case. But state Associate Attorney General Jane Young told reporters the investigation is "as active now as it was the day Celina disappeared."
Grand Jury proceedings are secret, so Young could not comment on any specifics, but family members told the media they were called to testify last week before the panel.
Focus on Wendell Noyes
The witnesses were asked about Wendell Noyes, the estranged husband of Celina's mother. The two separated shortly after Celina disappeared.
Eunie Richards, Noyes' mother, plus Noyes sister, brother and sister-in-law were all summoned to testify, Richards said.
"They just kept asking over and over and over and over. It was a living hell that day, just going through the mess that woman put me through," Richards told reporters.
Richards, 77, said she was "grilled" for three and a half hours.
