Received A Witness Subpoena To A Murder Case Despite Not Having Any Connection Or Relation To It

LOCATION: MA.

My former employer (I left this place of employment in December 2020) forwarded me a letter from the Norfolk County DA, addressed to me with my maiden name, but the mailing address for this lists the current business address (where I never had personal mail sent) and not any address I ever had for my residence, mail, or otherwise.

The case I'm summoned to present a witness statement for, is a murder case that took place in a city I never lived in or worked in that took place in late 2022, involving people I've never met or heard of, and occurred when I was living on the other end of the state. I moved officially in late 2021. My address was updated by then, as well.

I am perplexed as to why I was on a witness list for something I have zero relation to, and why it was mailed to a place I hadn't worked at for six years. I have always kept my address current at the registry of motor vehicles as well as the usps. I was married in late 2023, changed my name in early 2024, yet my former name is on the subpoena as well.

I left a voicemail with the witness advocate listed on the letter asking for more information as I'm supposed to drive an hour to the courthouse next Tuesday to provide a testimony about something I have no clue about. Is this normal???

UPDATE:

Alright everyone, the witness advocate (working for the defense) called me back, she's apparently been slammed with court all day but I was able to figure out why I'm being summoned. Turns out I don't have to be there on the 8th, that's the date the trial starts, and they may not even need me depending on the circumstances - - but I'm one of fifty other people they're calling in for one reason or another over the course of three weeks.

My connection: back in 2016 I was employed at at a facility where we did background checks/fingerprinted folks for cori/sori if they were employed or volunteering at a place (schools, daycares, etc) that involved minors. It was part of the Adam Walsh law, so I fingerprinted a person in 2016 who is being indicted for murder. My maiden name is on the fingerprint card, so they asked me to come in and verify that I was the person on the card. It's apparently that simple.

It's still frightening knowing I am apparently a connection ten years later to something that's this important. Thank you everyone for your support and assistance on this.

More to come later?
