John and Geraldine Magee Murder
John (Jack) and Geraldine (Jeri) Magee were found shot in their home at 7 Orchard Crossing on December 14, 2011. Their bodies were discovered by their daughter, Holly Magee Senykoff. The couple’s torched car was later found in Boston’s North End. Andover police characterized the murder as "an isolated act" with no danger to the community.[1]
In December 2021, around the tenth anniversary of the murders, Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett and Andover Police Chief Patrick Keefe put out a statement on behalf of the victims’ children asking for anyone with information about the crime to come forward.[2] As of 2024 the case remains open and unsolved and no new leads have been shared with the public.
