Worcester Woman Missing; SUV Found at Green Hill Towers

Worcester police are searching for 30-year-old Joanna Brown, who was last seen leaving the Bean Counter Bakery Cafe on Grove Street around 9 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 31, and has not contacted friends or family. She is described as about 5'6" with hazel eyes; some reports list blonde hair and a weight of about 200 pounds. Brown may be driving a 2025 gray Mitsubishi Outlander with Massachusetts plate 5GPN93; authorities say she could be in the Holyoke or Springfield area. Investigators located a vehicle matching that description at the Green Hill Towers apartment complex, took custody of the SUV, processed it inside a white tent, and called the medical examiner to the scene. The Bean Counter said Brown was a valued employee for eight years and had never missed a shift; anyone with information should call 911 or the Worcester Police Department at 508-799-8606.
