Firefighter Pleads Guilty To Arson, Infernal Machine Charges: New Hampshire State Police Roundup

CONCORD, NH — A woman from Nashua has been indicted on negligent homicide and other charges after the death of a teen at Lake Winnipesaukee in June 2025.

Buffy Ann Doyle, 50, was indicted by a Belknap County grand jury, accused of causing a 17-year-old’s death when she provided them with alcohol and allowed them to enter the lake even though she knew they were intoxicated, according to New Hampshire State Police. Initially, the state police marine patrol reported three women, who were on a boat in the area of the Broads, near Diamond and Rattlesnake islands, said a teen jumped into the water to retrieve a bag that had fallen overboard. Due to rough water conditions and strong winds, the teen appeared to struggle while swimming, remained submerged, and did not resurface, a report stated.

She faces negligent homicide, falsifying physical evidence, and two counts of witness tampering charges, all felonies. Doyle pleaded not guilty to the charges, and she was released on personal recognizance. She is expected to be in court again on June 26.

The investigation was conducted by the New Hampshire State Police Major Crime Unit with assistance from Marine Patrol, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, Gilford Fire-Rescue, Alton Fire Department, and the Nashua Police Department.

Firefighter Pleads Guilty To Arson

Austen M. Cooper of Raymond pleaded guilty to arson charges after incidents on the Rockingham Rec Rail Trail and Welch baseball fields in Raymond and Folsom Conservation Land in Epping in 2022.

Cooper was sentenced to 19 months incarcerated: 120 days in jail with 120 days of time served credit, six months in jail with 24 days of time served credit, and nine months in jail and $600 in restitution — $250 paid to the Raymond Fire Department and $350 paid to the Raymond Youth Athletic Association. He was also sentenced to two-and-a-half to five years in prison, all suspended for 10 years. Cooper, who previously lived in Huntingburg, Indiana, will be on probation for five years after serving his time.

“If Cooper violates the terms of his probation for 10 years after his release, he will be subjected to a state prison sentence for as long as five years,” state police said. “The Rockingham County Superior Court order also prohibits Cooper from applying to, or becoming a member of, any type of fire department, fire service, or emergency response service.”

The state will be petitioning to revoke Cooper’s certification.

The investigation was led by the New Hampshire Office of the State Fire Marshal-Bureau of Investigations, in coordination with the Rockingham County Attorney’s Office, the Epping, Raymond, and Manchester police departments, the Epping and Raymond fire departments, the Forest Protection Bureau within the New Hampshire Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, the United States Marshals Service, and the Huntingburg, Indiana fire and police departments.
