Amanda Grazewski Case: Cops Say ‘No Sustained Tips’ After 2 Years

DERRY, NH — Amanda Grazewski, a New Hampshire woman who was staying with friends in Derry when she up and vanished, has been missing for two years.

On March 17, 2020, she left a residence on Birch Street in the early morning hours, around 12:30 a.m., without her purse, cellphone, or other belongings, and has not been seen or heard from since. During the last two years, Capt. Vern Thomas of the Derry Police Department said, detectives have logged in “hundreds of investigative hours” including interviews, area searches, Internet and social media examinations, and time following up numerous tips.

“As of this date there have been no sustained tips or information as to Amanda’s whereabouts or circumstance under which she disappeared,” he said. “Derry police continue to investigate all possible leads and interview known associates of Amanda and the friends last believed to have seen her.”

Grazewski is 5 feet, 5 inches tall, and weighs around 135 pounds. She has brown hair and hazel eyes. She did not own a vehicle or have access to one, police said. For a number of years, Grazewski lived in Nashua but she was known to frequent Hooksett, Manchester, and Salem.

On the morning of her disappearance, there were others with her. While she stayed up, police said, the others went to sleep. According to previous press reports, there were text messages on her cellphone to an unknown number and she had been talking about moving to Salem. Her Social Security card was found outside Elliot Hospital in Manchester about 9 days after she disappeared.

Grazewski also has a history of substance abuse, dating back to her teens. At the time of her disappearance, Grazewski was working her way through three Hillsborough County Superior Court South cases including two common nuisances charges and a possession of controlled drug charge out of Nashua from February and September 2018. She was also accused of selling heroin to a Nashua detective in December 2018.

The day before she disappeared, she had a motion to suppress hearing on the common nuisances charges, and the day after, she was expected to be a dispositional conference hearing on the drug possession charges.

In the common nuisances case, a Nashua police detective said officers had been to Grazewski’s Thayer Court apartment twice for overdoses and a third time for an overdose in the hallway of the building between February and September 2018. During all three, police accused Grazewski of being present at the time.

A wellbeing check call was also made to the apartment in mid-April 2018 after a man reported his daughter was being held against her will at the apartment. The woman was found later and appeared to be under the influence of drugs. Grazewski was accused of admitting the woman had been smoking meth and marijuana.

On another call, in mid-July 2018, there were reports of people screaming outside of the apartment. Grazewski was accused of yelling at neighbors and calling them “rats.” She was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge. During another incident, a person was arrested for felony receiving stolen property as well.

The common nuisances charges related to accusations that she was selling heroin, fentanyl, Xanex, and crystal meth from her apartment. Grazewski’s attorneys were attempting to suppress evidence in the case due to a failure of police to comply with inventory requirements and other issues, according to court documents.

Anyone with information regarding Amanda Grazewski or her present whereabouts is asked to contact Derry Police at 603-432-6111.

Grazewski is one of a number of missing persons reported during the last few years from the Nashua-Derry area of the state.

Others include April Bailey, who has been missing from Nashua since January 2020; Michael Jones, 35, who has been missing from Nashua since January 2019; and Michael McClain, 30, of Manchester, who has been missing from Nashua since April 2019.
