Lulu Courchesne Pt. Two

(Part 2/2) October 18, 1987. Rochester, New Hampshire. 34-year old Alene “Lulu” Courchesne is found strangled to death next to a turnpike outside of town. Even though Lulu is engaged to someone else, she had gone out on a date the previous night with a man named Rick McCue. Rick is eventually charged with Lulu’s murder and found guilty at trial, even though compelling evidence seems to point to the brother of Lulu’s fiancée. After allegations of jury misconduct cause his conviction to be overturned, Rick receives a new trial and is acquitted in 1993, but no one else is ever charged with Lulu Courchesne’s murder. Did Rick McCue actually commit this crime, or did the real perpetrator get away with it? This week’s episode of “The Path Went Chilly” examines a controversial murder case which has yet to find a complete resolution after 30 years.Additional Reading:http://unsolvedmysteries.wikia.com/wiki/Rick_McCuehttp://www.nhd.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/opinions/96/96SM067.pdfhttps://www.leagle.com/decision/1991228134nh941215
