Police Hope New Picture Will Help Them Solve Nearly 50-Year-Old Murder in Portsmouth

Investigators hope the image will prompt classmates, neighbors and witnesses to share details that could help solve the 1982 killing.

  • On Sunday, the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit released a previously unseen photograph of Tammy Little, marking the 44th anniversary of her unsolved 1982 murder in Portsmouth.
  • Little, a 20-year-old Portsmouth Beauty School student, was found dead in her 315 Maplewood Avenue apartment on October 19, 1982, three days after being last seen alive on October 16.
  • Investigators seek information from former classmates, Maplewood Avenue residents, and anyone who saw Little between October 16-19, 1982; tips can be submitted to 603-271-2663 or coldcaseunit@dos.nh.gov.
  • "Tammy was the most joyful person," her family said in a statement, emphasizing their commitment to honoring her memory and seeking justice for the homicide.
  • Authorities are reviewing case files and evaluating physical evidence for modern forensic testing, mirroring the approach that solved the 1981 Laura Kempton case via DNA in 2023.
