Police in southeast Massachusetts are asking the public to be on the lookout for a woman who has been missing for several days.
Tetewsky may be wearing a light-colored (possibly blue) long-sleeve shirt, cropped leggings and Birkenstock-style sandals, according to police. She is approximately 5-feet-3-inches tall and weighs about 120 lbs.
Police do not believe Tetewsky’s disappearance is suspicious, according toFOX affiliate WFXT. However, SPD Chief Donna McNamara said authorities are “concerned for her health and wellbeing.”
“She is known to go for walks frequently, she is without a cell phone, and she doesn’t have any money at this time,” McNamara said at a press conference on Thursday, per WFXT.
“We are concerned that she may not have eaten or drank any water since the last confirmed time of Sunday evening,” she added.
