Authorities in Massachusetts are actively searching for a woman who has been missing since last Friday.

According to the Worcester police, Joanna Brown, aged 30, informed her colleagues at Bean Counter Bakery Cafe that she needed to leave due to a personal issue she didn’t specify. Since then, she has neither returned to her job nor contacted anyone, which is unusual for her, as reported by The Worcester Guard.

The Telegram & Gazette highlighted that Brown has been employed at the bakery for eight years. Police have expressed increased concern for her well-being but have not released additional information.

It is believed that Brown might be around the Holyoke or Springfield regions and could be driving a 2025 gray Mitsubishi Outlander with the Massachusetts registration 5GPN93. She is described as being 5 feet 6 inches tall with hazel eyes.

Individuals who have any knowledge about Brown’s current location are urged to contact the Worcester police at 508-799-8606.
