Mary Anderson, 23, of central Massachusetts, died of a gunshot wound to the head, officials said. Her ex-boyfriend — who was fatally shot by police in an encounter Tuesday evening — remains a person of interest in the case.
Vermont State Police say before officers opened fire Tuesday night in West Brattleboro there was a short foot chase and Matthew Davis lunged at police trying to talk to him about the death of Mary Anderson.
Brattleboro police located Mary Anderson’s body in her truck Tuesday at about 12:55 a.m., according to a state police press release. Anderson had been missing since the weekend and was last seen alive on Saturday in Hudson, New Hampshire.
