Jaden Salois
On January 31st of 2019, Pittsfield, Massachusetts police were called to an Edward Avenue home due to the reports of a gunshot victim. Upon arrival, they found the body of 18-year-old Jaden Salois, of Dalton, Massachusetts. It was discovered that Jaden had been lured to the house under the false pretenses of receiving marijuana, and was ultimately killed. Two brothers and their friend were later arrested and charged for Jaden’s senseless and pointless murder.
Shana Renee Price
On December 26th, 1990, the body of 17-year-old Shana Renee Price was found in Blunt Park in Springfield, Massachusetts. A Parks and Recreation Foreman had arrived for work early and came across Shana’s naked and brutally beaten body. There was also evidence of sexual assault, and her death was quickly ruled a homicide. Recently, a single DNA sample collected from Shana’s body was sent to Parabon NanoLabs, who used DNA phenotyping to predict the appearance of the perpetrator. Shana was a mother to a young son and just a month before her death she had reported to police that she felt that someone wanted to harm her. Anyone with any information on the murder of Shana Renee Price is asked to please call the Hampden District Attorney’s Office at (413) 432-9881.
