Three Family Members Indicted in Exeter Murder

The trio allegedly conspired to kill Amy Warf, a 36-year-old mother from Hampton.

Three family members have been indicted in the murder of Amy Warf, a 36-year-old mother whose body was found in an abandoned factory in Exeter earlier this year.

Warf's ex-husband, Aaron Desjardins, of Epping, was charged with first-degree murder. Prosecutors said he slashed her throat. His current wife, Sarah, was charged with conspiracy to commit murder and hindering apprehension. Desjardins' sister, Michele Corson, 43, of Skowhegan, Maine, was charged with being an accomplice to murder.

The trio were recently indicted, according to the Union Leader.

Senior Asst. Attorney General Susan Morrell said Sarah sent a text message to Corson asking her to bring a gun to New Hampshire as part of the murder plot. Corson did so, Morrell said.

Warf was found dead in the abandoned City Concrete Co. factory in Exeter on the morning of March 7 after a fire broke out. Morrell said Warf was coerced into the factory.
