Son Charged With Murder in Laconia Homicide as Separate Death Identified

Officials say the cases are separate with no known public threat and autopsies pending.

Overview

  • Christopher Garon, 32, was arrested at his mother's Old Prescott Hill Road home Tuesday and charged with second-degree murder.
  • He is being held without bail after a planned virtual arraignment Wednesday did not include his appearance because jail staff deemed him a risk.
  • In a separate case, officials identified the South Main Street victim as John Anderson, 62, with an autopsy set for Thursday.
  • State authorities say the two investigations are unconnected and report no known threat to the public, urging tips to the State Police line at 603-628-8477.
  • Her husband, William Dionne, said Linda tried to call a crisis hotline to help her son, describing a family struggling with mental health issues.
