    MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (WMUR) — The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office is hoping newly released surveillance video will help lead to more information in a cold case homicide.

The video, released for the first time to the public on Sunday, shows Lynne Brennan at Bunny’s Superette on Webster Street in Manchester on the afternoon of Oct. 4, 2010. Five days later, Brennan was found dead in her home on North River Road.

Investigators said the 53-year-old mother of three lived alone when she was killed. They never revealed her cause of death.

News 9 spoke with Brennan’s sister, Lisa Post, in 2018. At the time, she said, “Why would anyone want to take her life? She was a good person.” Post went on to say, “it’s unbearable sometimes and you know as the years go by you try to find ways to cope and live with it, but it’s always there, ever present.”

In a statement released Sunday, Post also said, “It has been 15 years since Lynne was murdered. Not knowing who did this to my sister weighs heavily on our whole family. We need answers, and we need peace.”

Manchester’s police chief said any detail, no matter how small it may seem, could be critical in solving the case.

Senior Assistant Attorney General Christopher Knowles said in a statement, in part, “The passage of time only strengthens our resolve… We believe there are people who have information that could be the missing piece in this case.”

Anyone with information about Brennan’s homicide is urged to email the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit at coldcaseunit@dos.nh.gov or call 603-271-2663. Tips can be made anonymously.
