Police are asking for the public’s help in solving a 16-year-old homicide investigation.
On Oct. 2, 2003, Nicolle Hands was killed in her Mountain Avenue apartment while her three children and a babysitter slept in the next room.
The babysitter told police she was awakened by a noise around 3:30 a.m. when she saw a man standing over Hands. The man fled the scene, and Nicolle was left on the floor with life-threatening injuries. She died three days later in hospital.
