Overview: DANNY Paquette’s killer walked into the visitors’ room at the New Hampshire State Prison for Men. He was cheerful—even pleased—to see a new face, someone who hadn’t known him before he was arrested. The killer claimed to be a popular man. To get someone new in to see him, the killer had to drop someone else from his visitors list. It was his old dentist, he said, and prison rules said she couldn’t be added back to the list for at least one year.
“I’m the only one in here with a waiting list of people wanting to get in to see me,” he said.
At first he did not want to talk about the details of that day, instead hoping to drop the story altogether.
“Please don’t reopen old wounds,” he said. But on the other hand, he did understand why so many people were still interested in the story. There were many questions still left unanswered. Who else was involved? What convinced him to do it? How did he go twenty years without being caught? The only question that didn’t need to be asked was, “Why?”

—That’s because everyone knew he killed a child molester.
IT took twenty years to solve the case of who shot Danny Paquette in his own backyard.

Though some regarded his killing as a senseless murder, many more weren’t the least bit sorry that Danny Paquette was dead.
Only one person’s finger pulled the trigger, but dozens of others pressed their fingers to pursed lips in silence. That perfectly aimed bullet ruined many other lives in addition to the one it ended that day. But as the years passed and the silence grew, many people judged the crime righteous and justified. Many knew. No one spoke. Their reasons varied, but the act of frontier justice was all made easier to bear because of one thing:
—Danny Paquette had it coming.
