Missing Woman Found Dead Inside Truck; Ex-Boyfriend Sought: VT Police

HARVARD, MA — A missing Massachusetts woman was found dead inside a truck in Brattleboro on Tuesday morning and authorities are now searching for her boyfriend, who they said may have information about her death.

Vermont State Police on Tuesday identified the woman as 23-year-old Mary Anderson of Harvard, Massachusetts. Anderson was last seen in Hudson, New Hampshire, around 10:30 p.m. Saturday driving a blue 2017 Toyota Tacoma.

That same truck was found Tuesday around 12:55 a.m., police said. Her body was inside it.

Officers are now looking to find and speak with Anderson's former boyfriend, Matthew Davis, 34, of Fitchburg, MA. Police did not name him as a suspect, but wanted to gather information relevant to the case as part of their investigation.

Davis is described as being a white man about 5-feet 6-inches tall with brown hair and blue eyes. Police say Davis also has connections in the Pittsfield area.

The medical examiner is expected to perform an autopsy to determine Anderson's exact cause of death, as the state in which her body was found has not yet been revealed.

Anderson's family told police they were initially worried about her when they didn't hear back from her Saturday. They called her disappearance "uncharacteristic" and suspected foul play, officially reporting her missing Sunday morning when she didn't come home Saturday night.

Anyone with any information on Davis or his whereabouts is asked to contact their local police department or Vermont State Police at 802-722-4600.
