Luella Blakeslee was last seen alive on July 4, 1969. A graduate of Pembroke Academy (valedictorian 1958) and the University of New Hampshire, she was a 29-year-old school teacher at Derryfield School, a private school in Manchester NH, and lived in Hooksett NH at the time of her disappearance. Her remains were found on May 9, 1998, in Hopkinton NH. She was a world traveler. The medical examiner ruled her death as "homicidal violence of an undetermined type."

When Luella's remains were identified, the Attorney General's Office issued a press release noting that at the time of her disappearance, suspicion focused on one of her acquaintances, Robert George Breest, who was subsequently convicted of first-degree murder for the New Hampshire death of Susan Randall. The Attorney General's Office noted that Breest remains a suspect in Luella's death. Breest has been eligible for release since July 16, 1995, but was still incarcerated for Randall's murder as of November 23, 2021, at the age of 83.
