A Massachusetts woman whose body was found in the woods in the town of Washington October 25 died of homicidal strangulation, authorities say.
The Chief Medical Examiner’s Office has informed the Vermont State Police of the final determination on cause and manner of death for 23-year-old Tanairy “Tanya” Velazquez Estrada.
The medical examiner identified the cause of death as asphyxia due to strangling, and the manner of death as a homicide.
Velazquez Estrada was reported missing by her mother to police in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, on Wednesday, Oct. 25. Velazquez Estrada’s mother said she had not heard from her daughter in more than a week. Fitchburg police contacted law enforcement in Vermont at about the same time the victim’s body was discovered in the town of Washington.
VSP’s investigation into this incident remains active and ongoing. Anyone who might have information that could assist the state police is asked to call the Berlin barracks at 802-229-9191, or provide an anonymous tip online at https://vsp.vermont.gov/tipsubmit.

The V.S.R has become a dumping ground for the Down Country “Pharmacist’s”(AKA drug dealers) mules who won’t toe the line.

Like many of Vermont’s more recently acquired reputations, the lack of law enforcement and prosecutorial resources brought upon us mainly by the post-George Floyd era is attracting a new kind of tourism and a broadened, more diverse tourist base. If you live in or around one of the more crime-ridden former mill towns of central Massachusetts and your business activities require the disposal of a body, why not take a ride up to the beautiful Green Mountains, and make a weekend of it with some skiing and dining? We’d love to have ya!/nos encantaría darle la bienvenida!
I was just speaking with two Honduran women at the Walmart bus stop in Williston who solicited me. They were Tanaka and trafficked to the US from an indigenous region in the southeast of their country after seeking work as laborers and coached to claim asylum – now they owe a large debt to the cartel. Why they are now in VT is anyone’s guess, but don’t be surprised when we start finding more vulnerable women dead in the woods here.
