LANCASTER — A 24-year-old West Stewartstown man questioned extensively by authorities in connection with the death of 11-year-old Celina Cass in that town last summer has been indicted on three felony charges apparently unrelated to the murder case.
But the little girl's mother, Louisia Cass, and her stepfather, Wendell Noyes, are listed as victims in a forgery indictment against Kevin Mullaney.
A Coos County Superior Court grand jury spent most of Friday considering whether to bring charges in cases given to them by county prosecutors. They returned some 50 indictments, which court personnel processed Monday before making them public on Tuesday.
Included were three indictments against Mullaney, a man with an extensive criminal record who was staying as a guest at the Cass-Noyes home last summer. Following the killing, Louisia Cass separated from Wendell Noyes, who at the time had been her husband for about a year.
Mullaney departed at around the same time, and the three-story apartment house on Route 3 in the center of West Stewartstown Village became vacant shortly thereafter.
Mullaney was indicted Friday for forgery, a Class B felony, between Oct. 1 and Oct. 14 last year in a case involving a check drawn on a First Colebrook Bank account that authorities say belonged to Cass and Noyes.
According to the indictment, Mullaney “did, with a purpose to defraud … or with knowledge that he is facilitating a fraud … make, complete, execute, authenticate, issue, transfer, publish or otherwise utter ... a check … from the bank account of Louisia Cass and/or Wendell G. Noyes, so that it purports to be the act of another, Louisia Cass. …”
The amount of the check was not reported in the indictment, which did list an address of 7163 Route 114 in West Stewartstown, where Mullaney was living approximately three months after the death of Celina Cass.
The grand jury also indicted Mullaney on a Class A felony, receiving stolen property, on Dec. 12 of last year in Stewartstown. That involved an Iver Johnson TP .22-caliber, semi-automatic pistol, allegedly the property of Sharon Abbott.
He was also indicted on a Class B felony count of being a convicted felon in possession of firearms, also last December in Stewartstown, in connection with the same pistol. According to the indictment, Mullaney was convicted of a felony-level charge of theft in Coos County Superior Court in 2008.
Seven months after the death of Celina Cass was ruled a homicide, no one has been charged with the crime, although prosecutors from the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office have questioned witnesses before the grand jury in the Lancaster court.
