Melrose Police Looking For Missing Woman

MELROSE, MA — The police department is asking for the public’s help in locating a missing resident.

Nina Gentile, 30, was last seen in Melrose on Thursday, Oct. 29 operating a light blue 2008 Toyota Camry Solara with Massachusetts registration 3BET74, according to police.

Morgan Adams, who described Gentile as one of their best friends, said she is approximately five feet and nine inches tall and was carrying a purple or eggplant-colored backpack when she left her home. Adams said they last spoke with Gentile by phone two days before she left and have been reaching out to her family for updates.

In a statement shared by Adams on behalf of Gentile’s mother through social media, her mother expressed concern for her daughter and asked community members to respond with compassion.

“I raised her to be kind, caring, thoughtful, and compassionate,” her mother wrote. “The person who walked out that door was struggling in a way that was very different from the person I knew.”

Her mother also urged people to offer patience and support to those experiencing mental health struggles.

“You don’t have to understand everything to choose compassion,” she wrote.

Community members with information about Gentile’s whereabouts are being asked to contact Melrose Police at 781-665-1212.
