Several teenagers have gone missing in Bridgewater in recent years. Earlier this year, a girl named Hailey Dippold went missing in the town. She was last seen at her house at around midnight, June 06. Fortunately, the officials found her just a few hours after her parents filed a missing report.
Last year in December, another 13-year-old boy went missing from the Bridgewater area. However, the Avon and Somerset Police managed to locate him safely. The police found the boy, who went missing from his home on December 03, over a week later, just a day after the force issued an urgent appeal to find the teenager.
