Police dig in Epping, come up empty-handed

November 20, 2008

State and local police spent much of yesterday digging up a section of a property along Friend Street.

State police investigators were tight-lipped about the excavation. They referred all comments to Assistant Attorney General Jane Young, who refused to discuss the case. Investigators appeared to find nothing significant as they filled in the hole and wrapped up their search late yesterday afternoon.

Epping Police Chief Gregory Dodge said the search was part of a follow-up investigation from another agency that didn’t involve an Epping case.

Authorities would not confirm whether the investigation was related to the Nov. 13, 1984 disappearance of Tammy Belanger. The 8-year-old Exeter girl vanished while walking to school. While authorities have followed up on several tips over the years; nothing has led them to her.
