Both the Ashland and Natick Police posted on their Facebook pages Monday morning, about a missing Ashland woman, who has not been seen by her family since Friday the 13th.
Cassie Severance is hoping someone knows something about the disappearance of her sister, McNamara, 24. Severance began posting about her missing sister all over social media, including Facebook on Sunday.
McNamara’s cell phone was traced by police somewhere near P.F. Chang in Natick on Feb. 14.
Natick Police, said in their Facebook post, they did not find her or her car the following day but her phone was “still in the same location.”
“We have looked all over that area and have not found her, her car, or her phone,” posted Severance, who said that McNamara has blue eyes and brown hair and was seen at PF Chang with a man and woman “whose identity we don’t know.”
McNamara is the same woman who was arrested the day after Christmas in 2014, for throwing bacon and raw sausages in the Framingham Police station. Click here to view video of the incident at WHDH-TV, a Patch partner.
On Dec. 26, 2014, she was charged her with disorderly conduct and malicious destruction of property worth less than $250. Her arraignment at Framingham District Court was postponed until Feb. 9. She was put under a psychiatric hold.
She reportedly said “It’s time to feed the pigs,” before smearing raw bacon and sausage around the dispatch window area. She walked into the station carrying the raw meat in a Dunkin’ Donuts box.
But last week, a judge dismissed all charges against her.
