Needham Police have announced that they are searching for 62 year-old Linda Croteau to check on her well-being. She was last seen on April 29, 2024, at her former Needham residence. She was last heard from on May 4th.
Linda is described as 5'2" in height, 130 pounds, and has brown/grey hair and hazel eyes.
Her cell phone is now off, but was pinged in Oxford, Massachusetts on Saturday, May 4th. Oxford Police have been alerted to this missing persons case.
Anyone with any related information about Linda is asked to call Needham's Public Safety Center at 781-444-1212.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 51 and low of 47 degrees. Patchy rain nearby during the morning, overcast overnight.
Of course it must happen, this whole process should have been orchestrated 9 years ago.
Instead, the past and current administration in this Town decided to build a $95M school that wasn't needed!
They put a school before a public safety building.
Of course we need a new fire station now.
And the Town spent $25K to a PR firm to push this through? Of my money? This should either be a conflict of interest or an ethics violation here. Or both. This is outrageous if true!
At their 5/13/25 meeting, the Select Board announced:
Thank you, Kathy for your well stated comment. I have added a note to the top of this article referencing your comment while I update the article.
ABUTTERS SETTLE WITH TOWN FOR $97,003.14
