Few Details On Search At Tewksbury State Hospital

TEWKSBURY, MA -- State Police detectives assigned to the Middlesex District Attorney's office conducted an extensive search on the property of Tewksbury State Hospital last week. While officials confirmed that the search, which included police dogs, took place, they would not offer any other details.

Tewksbury Police Chief Timothy Sheehan told Your Tewksbury Today, which first reported this story, that the search was not related to the disappearance of Yessenia Roman, 27, who lived at the hospital and was found safe earlier this week after being reported missing Dec. 14.
