PLAINVILLE, MASS. (WHDH) - PLAINFIELD, N.H. (AP) — Police in New Hampshire have arrested a mother and son they say were involved in a murder-for-hire plot.
Eighty-three-year-old Pauline Chase, and her 63-year-old son, Maurice Temple, both of Plainfield, were arrested Thursday. State police say they have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder, solicitation to commit murder and attempt to commit murder.
The two are scheduled for court appearances Friday; it wasn’t immediately known if they had lawyers.
Police say a combined effort between the New Hampshire State Police Crimes Unit, the Attorney General’s Office Drug Task Force and the Sullivan County Attorney’s Office produced an “extensive investigation.”
Details on the allegations haven’t been released. The Valley News reports Plainfield Police Chief Paul Roberts couldn’t comment when asked if a violent act had occurred. Roberts says the case is “still fluid” and described the investigation as “active.”
