Authorities in Gilmanton, New Hampshire, are intensifying their search for Dana Hathaway, a 29-year-old parolee from the New Hampshire State Prison, who is currently considered armed and dangerous. The investigation took a significant turn on Monday afternoon when police responded to a residence on NH Route 140 following a report from a homeowner regarding a suspicious vehicle parked at the end of the driveway. The homeowner identified Hathaway as the last person seen driving the vehicle. Upon entering the property with permission, officers discovered a cache of firearms and ammunition inside the home. Despite the discovery of weapons, neither Hathaway nor his girlfriend was located at the scene. This search is part of an ongoing manhunt that has been underway for several weeks. The pursuit began last month when Hathaway fled from police in Epsom, triggering a large-scale search operation near the local traffic circle. Law enforcement officials emphasize the potential danger posed by the suspect, particularly given the recent discovery of weapons in his suspected vicinity. The U.S. Marshals Service and the Gilmanton Police Department are jointly leading the investigation. They are urging the public to remain vigilant and to report any information regarding Hathaway’s whereabouts immediately. Residents are advised to contact the Gilmanton Police Department at 603-267-7401 or reach out to the U.S. Marshals with any tips or leads that could assist in locating the wanted suspect. The situation remains active, and authorities continue to canvass the area and analyze evidence related to the firearms found.
