The ongoing search for missing Massachusetts woman Brittany Tee, who was last seen over a week ago, resumed on Wednesday.
Asked on Monday about the gap of time between when she was last seen and when she was reported missing, Worcester District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr. said that her family initially “thought they might know where she was.”
“When that obviously didn’t pan out, that’s when the family came to the police department,” he said during a press conference, stressing that authorities are “not looking at this as a crime scene.”
“There are no suspects right now,” Early said on Tuesday, per the station. “Her boyfriend has been very cooperative with us, everyone has been very cooperative with us. That is encouraging.”

Family members have said that it’s unlike Brittany to not check in with them.
“This is totally out of character,” mom Susan M. Tee told theWorcester Telegram & Gazette, adding that she did not think her daughter would run away on her own.

Susan went on to call on anyone who thinks they might have information to share it with the authorities.
“If there is anyone with any information, even if they think, oh, it wouldn’t be that important, it very well could be important,” she said. “If they may have seen something or heard something, even if they think they may have seen her, possibly, with her description, please, please, please, contact the police.”
“I just want her home,” added Susan. “We want her home.”
Police have also repeatedly asked that anybody with tips contact them — and said that the tips they’ve received so far have been helpful.
“The longer this goes on, the more frustration and anxiety builds amongst people but I want to remind everyone to remain positive,” Brookfield Police Chief Michael Blanchard said on Tuesday. “Keep Brittany and your family in your thoughts and prayers, and continue to hope for a safe return of Brittany.”
