A Bear woman who was reported missing last week after she didn’t show up to work for several days was found dismembered in a car over the weekend, Delaware and Maryland police said.
The investigation into the whereabouts of 31-year-old Tracy Nyariki began Friday night, when New Castle County officers responded to her apartment complex in the 2700 block of Stone Place in Bear. They’d received an earlier report from Nyariki’s employer that she hadn’t been to work for several days.
When police entered Nyariki’s apartment, they “uncovered several suspicious circumstances that raised concerns about her safety and well-being,” a New Castle County Police news release said. After failing to get ahold of her or find her, the agency issued a Gold Alert.
Gold Alerts are typically issued when a law enforcement agency receives notice that an older adult, a suicidal person, a juvenile, a person with a disability or a vulnerable person is missing.
