Summary
Federal agencies including the U.S. Marshals Service and Homeland Security Investigations joined Worcester police on Thursday in the third day of a search for Karen Solomon after officer Kurt Solomon was found dead Tuesday.
Police called the case an act of domestic violence, said Karen Solomon should be considered armed and dangerous, and released security video Wednesday showing her walking away in shorts, a T-shirt and flip-flops.
District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. said she is wanted for questioning, not yet charged, and officials have withheld details of how Kurt Solomon died under Massachusetts domestic-violence disclosure limits.
Karen Solomon had a high profile in police mental-health advocacy, co-founding First H.E.L.P., writing two books on officer trauma and suicide, and testifying at a 2020 Justice Department hearing.
Kurt Solomon had served more than 30 years as a Worcester patrol officer and was nearing retirement, with neighbors and the police union describing the couple as kind and the death as shocking.
