Lyme Man Accused Of Murdering His Cousin: NH AG’s Office

CONCORD, NH — A murder suspect was arrested in Newport on Saturday, according to the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office.

Around 12:30 p.m., Hanover police were called to Route 10 in Orford for a report of a shooting. When they arrived, they found a dead woman, later identified as Brooke Goodrich, 25.

An investigation into the shooting led police to her cousin, Lance Goodrich, 35, of Lyme, as a suspect. According to scanner chatter, a BOLO (be-on-the-lookout) officer safety call was issued for Lance Goodrich not long after the shooting. He was driving in a 2012 Chevy Cruze. They accused Lance Goodrich of being in possession of a loaded 9 mm handgun.

Lance Goodrich was arrested around 4:30 p.m. on Barton Whitney Road in Newport and charged with two second-degree murder charges accused of knowingly and recklessly shooting Brooke Goodrich.

An autopsy will be performed on Brooke Goodrich Sunday. Lance Goodrich is expected to be arraigned on Nov. 22 in Grafton County Superior Court.
