New Photos Released in 1995 Salem Murder Case

Authorities in New Hampshire are renewing appeals for information in the 1995 execution-style murder of Hai Bo "Paul" Lei, a 26-year-old Boston man found shot, bound, strangled, and with his throat cut along Hampstead Road in Salem. Despite an extensive initial investigation and recent use of modern forensic techniques, no arrests have been made. Evidence, including ligatures and shell casings, indicated that the murder was targeted rather than random. Investigators believe some individuals may have withheld information due to fears of retaliation, illegal gambling, gang activity, or prosecution, and stress that tips can be provided anonymously. The New Hampshire Cold Case Unit, in cooperation with Salem Police and Massachusetts law enforcement, has released new photos of Lei to generate new leads. Authorities urge anyone with relevant information to contact the Cold Case Unit, emphasizing that even the smallest detail could help solve the case.
