Hampton Woman Found Dead in Haverhill River

HAMPTON, N.H. - A woman whose body was found in Little River in Haverhill has been identified as Jennifer Succo, 38, of Hampton, New Hampshire. According to the Eagle Tribune, Carrie Kimball Monahan, spokeswoman for Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett, said "no foul play is suspected."

Police said that on Friday around 8:05 a.m., a passer-by notified them of a body in the river below the dam where the river crosses under Winter Street, just outside of Lafayette Square.

Haverhill police Capt. Stephen Doherty said firefighters scrambled down an embankment to retrieve the body, which they believe to be that of a woman.

Police said there is no way to know how long the body found in the river had been there.

Succo was arrested in Hampton in late January, according to Seacoast Online. Succo was picked up on Jan. 31 on the charges of disobeying an officer, resisting arrest or detention, possession of controlled/narcotic drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving after revocation or suspension.
