New Hampshire: Body found in Rindge as Brandon Chicklis, ruled a homicide
Authorities in New Hampshire have identified the body of a man found Tuesday afternoon in Rindge as Brandon Chicklis and determined that his death is a homicide.
Brandon Chicklis
Chicklis, 20, is from Westminster, Massachusetts, but was found off Route 119. The attorney general confirmed some details in the case, including that Chicklis was last seen on June 26, just prior to a visit to his see for Father’s Day.
Weeks after the missing persons report, a jogger called Rindge police on July 10 to report a body along the eastbound side of Route 119. New Hampshire State Police conducted a search of the area and found Chicklis’ body near the roadside.
“Something happened, and that’s what we don’t know,” said Paul Chicklis. “He was coming here to see me so we could have dinner and spend some time together for Father’s Day.”
“We just need to find out who did this to my son that didn’t deserve this horrific end to his short life,” said Chicklis.
He was quickly reported as missing after not arriving to meet his dad in Windham, New Hampshire, when he disappeared. Brandon was living with his girlfriend and her family in Westminster.
The missing persons report went out on June 26.
