Eric Winterst and Melanie Pecat
Eric Winterst was arrested in December 2005. Two days later, a grand jury formally charged him with first-degree murder. He pleaded not guilty, but changed his mind when offered a plea bargain. By pleading guilty to the lesser charge of second-degree murder, he avoided going to trial. Eric Winterst was sentenced to serve 15 to 36 years at the New Hampshire State Prison. In October 2020, Eric Wintersst was up for parole after serving 15 years.
