EASTON, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts woman who went missing last week has been found alive in a swampy area of a state park, police said.
Emma Tetewsky, 31, was reported missing June 26, prompting police to turn to the public for help in finding her.
On Monday evening, Easton Police Department officers arrived at Borderland State Park, about 30 miles south of Boston, after hikers called 911 to report hearing a woman screaming for help in a swampy area of the park, according to investigators.
The grandmother of a French teenager shot dead by police during a traffic stop has urged rioters to stop after five nights of unrest.
Hushed and visibly anguished, hundreds of mourners from France’s Islamic community formed a solemn procession from a mosque to a hillside cemetery on Saturday.
The events in France following the death of a 17-year-old shot by police in a Paris suburb are drawing parallels to the racial reckoning in the U.S. that began in 2020 with the killing of George Floyd.
Police heard Tetewsky’s cries for help through thick bush, but couldn’t see her. Then, three officers waded about 50 feet through the swamp to reach Tetewsky.
Investigators say she might have been trapped in the swampy area for at least three days.
She was taken to a nearby hospital with what investigators said are serious, but not life-threatening, injuries.
