An arrest has been made in the case of an elderly woman's untimely death in Exeter, New Hampshire, as a 55-year-old woman stands accused of second-degree murder. NBC Boston reports that Danielle Kelsen, the daughter-in-law of 88-year-old Janet Kelsen, who was found deceased in February from an incident initially brushed off as a consequence of age, was declared a murder victim following the medical examiner's revelation of blunt head trauma as the cause of death.
Attorney General John M. Formella announced the charges against Danielle Kelsen, explaining that her arrest in Southwest Harbor, Maine, marks the beginning of a legal journey that includes not only a charge of second-degree murder but also the allegations of wiretapping and eavesdropping. The nature of these communications, disclosure remains limited, the weight of these accusations enduring through the silence.
According to a statement obtained by WMUR News 9, Kelsen is accused of recklessly causing Janet Kelsen's death by manifesting an extreme indifference to the value of human life by inflicting blunt head trauma. This echoes a narrative that strips the incidents bare of any facade that might have been mistaken for a mere tragic accident within the walls of that Exeter apartment building.
The case takes a complex turn with the additional charges of wiretapping, hinting at a prelude of infringement upon personal boundaries. The investigation unravels layers of malfeasance, farther from a straightforward explanation of a familial dispute, it edges towards a calculated invasion of privacy. Kelsen is scheduled for an extradition hearing on December 10; she will then be extradited to New Hampshire, where the official arraignment will take place at the 10th Circuit Court - Brentwood District Division.
