Marshals Seek Help With Unresolved New Hampshire Fugitive Cases

CONCORD, NH — The District of New Hampshire - New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force posted 50 fugitive of the week alerts in 2019 and task force members found a number of them. Since the program was created in 2002, more than 7,900 fugitives have been found. In 2007, the task force began working with media outlets to promote the fugitive of the week feature and often credit this working relationship with its success for capturing fugitives.

But even with that amount of exposure, some fugitives have slipped through the cracks – including 12 that have not been caught in New Hampshire during the past five years.

Of the 12, the task force would really like to apprehend Carlos Bolieiro, Jonah Couturier, and James Hill, according to Jeffrey White, a deputy U.S. Marshal.

Bolieiro, featured upper left collage, who is wanted on three counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault of a child under 16 in Hooksett, has been missing since August 2013. He is 57, about 5-feet, 8-inches tall, and weighs around 175 lbs. He has brown hair and brown eyes. Bolieiro is a naturalized citizen from Portugal but fled Hooksett after an arrest warrant was issued. He was featured as a fugitive of the week in both 2015 and 2016.

"Bolieiro is known to have family in the Nashua, Hudson, Manchester areas, as well as Massachusetts," White said. "Bolieiro was born in Portugal and possibly might have fled the United States to avoid arrest."

Couturier is 40, 6-feet, 2-inches tall, and weighs around 185 lbs. He has brown hair and eyes. Couturier, pictured in the upper middle collage, is wanted by Seabrook police on possession and manufacturing of drugs, specifically marijuana, LSD, mushrooms, fentanyl, and butane honey oil, as well as reckless conduct with a deadly weapon.

Couturier is considered "armed and dangerous," according to White, and hasn't been seen since there was a fire at his Seacoast home in 2017.

Hill, in the upper right collage, was first named as a fugitive in 2017 on an arson charge by Belknap County sheriffs which issued the warrant against him in May 1998. Hill is 75, about 6-feet tall, around 200 lbs., and has hazel eyes and brown hair.

Hill is suspected of stealing a sailboat from the Florida Keys in January 1998. The boat was recovered after it was run ashore but he was not found. After a search by the U.S. Coast Guard as well as local authorities, he was declared dead/lost at sea. However, the search was restarted for Hill not long after the declaration of him being lost at sea or dead after his vehicle was found in a local river with his personal belongings in it. Again, a body was not found.

"Hill is still likely alive and could be hiding in the islands off Florida," White said. "But he still has extensive ties to people in New England."

Hill was known to work as a carpenter and handyman but was also known for gambling and violence when drinking, White said. The arson case is a separate incident from the boat incidents. Hill was also featured on America's Most Wanted in November 2009.
