The brief search for a New England murder suspect who is believed to have stabbed her alleged victim in the head before stealing his car is over.

Stephanie Beard, 34, was arrested Saturday for allegedly murdering John Glennon, 71, the New Hampshire Department of Justice announced.

“Mr. Glennon was found dead at approximately 8:00 a.m. on May 13, 2022,” authorities said. “It is believed Mr. Glennon was killed in the early morning hours that day.”

Beard has battled homelessness and addiction the last several years, her mother told local ABC affiliate WMUR.

“Stephanie was a very, very, very good person, except she got mixed up in drugs,” Diane Beard said. “She went overboard, and this is what came out of it. She was on drugs bad, and that’s how she turned mental.”

She also saidthat she was struggling with her feelings about the entire situation.


“I have too many mixed emotions,” Diane Beard said. “But I guess a part of me was saying, ‘She’s safe. She’s captured.’ But bottom line still is—I hate to say it—she’s still my daughter regardless.”

A neighbor described Glennon as “a very nice guy. He was quiet.”

Authorities did not release information on the motive, or say if Glennon and Beard knew one another before the incident.
