Missing New Hampshire Man May Be In Methuen: Reports

METHUEN, MA — The Federal Bureau of Investigation and police in Methuen, Massachusetts, are involved in their second day of digging on a commercial parcel near Route 113 searching for the body of a missing New Hampshire man.

Limited information is known at post time but according to WBZ-TV in Boston, the search behind Milk Street not far from the Loop Connector has been going on for two days. The FBI is not commenting on the case. Investigators confirmed they had an evidence response team at the location and the public was not in any immediate danger.

Unnamed sources are telling Boston television outlets that the search is for evidence or the body of a Manchester man missing since April. The man's vehicle was reportedly found nearby in Lawrence.

Heather Hamel, the public information officer for the Manchester Police Department, referred all media questions to law enforcement officials in Massachusetts. She did not return an email requesting a list of all missing men from Manchester during the last year.

John Guilfoil of John Guilfoil Public Relations LLC, who handles public relations for the Methuen Police Department, also did not return an email requesting comment.
