NEW HAMPTON, N.H. -- Residents in New Hampton, N.H., are protesting the presence in their community of a paroled child-killer.
Many of them called for pressure Monday night for pressure to force 61-year-old Raymond Guay to leave. He's been living with a host family in town since May.
Guay spent 36 years in prison for murdering a 12-year-old in the 1970s in Nashua.
Paul Tierney -- head of the New Hampton selectmen -- says the selectmen were placed in a difficult situation when federal officials told them that Guay had accepted the invitation of a host family to live in the town.
Police Chief Merritt Salmon says he's reworking the police department schedule to provide the closest thing possible to 24-hour coverage and will be taking over some of the patrols himself.
