New England Law Professor Wendy Murphy, the co-director of the Women's and Children's Advocacy Project, said, "You may think these cases are unrelated, but I think they are related. Boy it has never been this bad. I can't remember a time when we had this many missing women in such a short period of time," reports NBC Boston.
On the other hand, security analyst Todd McGhee said timing is an important aspect in any investigation. McGhee said, "The longer the case goes on, the longer the person is missing, certain leads will possibly go stale."
Four other missing women from Massachusetts
Brittany Tee
Brittany Tee, of Brookfield, was only reported missing three days after she was last seen on January 10. Tee was last spotted in the area of Lewis Field on Main Street leaving her boyfriend's home, as previously reported. She is 5'7" and 120 pounds and was last seen wearing a black coat, pants and work boots. Tee’s friend Mattie Sjoblom said, "There’s a lot of people that are really concerned about her and we just want her to know that we all love her so much and that we want her home safe. Today was the day that all of us just kind of had enough. We did show a large presence of support out in the parking lot across the street from the station today which I feel as though helped get the ball rolling. Brittany has made an impact on everybody’s life that she has touched."
