In May 1871 Maren’s happiness swelled with the arrival of her sister, Karen Christensen, from Norway. The circumstances of Karen’s arrival were somewhat grievous – she had lost a lover in Norway for whom she continually pined — but Maren was certain she could help her sister overcome her melancholy and build a new life. Several weeks after she came, Karen got a position as a live-in maid with a family on Appledore Island, largest of the Isles of Shoals.

It was a sight that no mother should ever have to see. Kim ran out of the apartment and across the street to the corner store, Chase’s Minit Market.

Tammy Little Steve and Wendy’s house was left untouched, so they graciously took us in, along with my partner’s handicapped brother, and were just so hospitable and helpful,” Siegel recalled.Mortimer deployed a cadre of detectives and officers to interview Laura’s friends, family, coworkers, and schoolmates—virtually anyone who may have interacted with her in the days leading up to her death. A picture began to emerge of a happy, extroverted young woman with an active social life. It was hard to imagine anyone wanting to do her harm.

When the trawl lines were in they planned to sell the catch in Portsmouth and buy bait arriving on the early train from Boston. At sea they met a neighbor and asked him to stop at Smuttynose and tell the women the winds had changed in favor of sailing directly to the mainland, so they wouldn’t be stopping to leave one of the men on the island, as was their custom.
