Celina Cass of New Hampshire - 11 - Was Murdered

The girl’s body was found Aug. 1 about a quarter mile from her home in West Stewartstown, N.H., a small town near the borders with Canada and Vermont. But after autopsy results proved inconclusive, the cause of her death remained a mystery — until today.
The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office announced this afternoon that “after further investigation and receiving toxicology results, Deputy Chief Medical Examiner Jennie V. Duval, M.D., has ruled Celina Cass’s manner of death to be a homicide.”
Those toxicology results and the cause of death, however, are not being made public yet to aid in the investigation.
“The premature public disclosure of Cass’s cause of death could have an impact on the integrity of the investigation in a negative manner,” said Granite State AG Michael A. Delaney. “The investigation into the facts and circumstances of Celina Cass’s murder remains active.”
In the weeks since Cass went missing, her family has crumbled, her mother told a local TV station earlier this week.
“I go to the cemetery every week,” mom Louisa Cass said. “I talk to her. I want her to come and tell me what happened so we know.”
The family has moved out of the West Stewartstown house where Celina was last seen alive and has put it up for sale.
And since the girl was found dead, Louisa Cass’ 9-month-old marriage to Wendell Noyes has crumbled. Noyes suffered a medical breakdown after Celina’s death and is receiving medical care in Berlin, N.H., according to relatives.
