Search For Missing Person At Ashland State Park Reservoir Resumes

ASHLAND, MA — There was a large police and fire presence at the Ashland Reservoir inside Ashland State Park on Friday as crews resumed a search in the water for a missing person.

Almost a dozen police and fire agencies converged on the reservoir on Wednesday morning for the search, but it was called off around 4:30 p.m. as a nor'easter approached the region. In addition to Ashland police and firefighters, personnel from Auburn fire, Holliston police, Environmental Police, state police, Hopkinton police and MetroLEC assisted with the search.

On Friday, police shut down Spring Street east of Olive Street as the search resumed. Police have not released details about the missing person or where they are from.

Last November, Ashland police recovered the body of Michael Curtis, 59, from a pond along Route 135 near the Framingham line. Curtis was the resident of a local halfway house, and was known to take walks around town.
