Police in New Hampshire released security footage Thursday, showing the last time a missing Barnstead artist was seen.
According to the Barnstead Police Department, Ashley Turcotte, who has been missing for over three weeks, was last seen on January 4 at a Dollar General in Barnstead. Police said she made purchases at the store at 9:18 a.m. and 10:44 a.m.
There were no cameras outside the store, police said, and the only images currently available from her last known whereabouts were from security footage inside the store.
The following day, police found Turcotte’s silver Hyundai Elantra parked at the town hall the following day. Her belongings, including a backpack and cell phone, were found inside the car. Search crews have since carried out “extensive searches of land and waterways” but have not been able to locate her.
“The neighborhood where her car was found was canvassed and all known private video surveillance systems have been checked with negative results,” Barnstead police said.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, Barnstead police said Turcotte is “an artist who always paints pumpkins for all of our town departments.”
Turcotte is described as a white female who stands 5 feet 5 inches tall with brown eyes and brown hair. She has scars on both arms, according to Boston 25 News. She was last seen wearing a dark long-sleeved shirt, dark pants, and a dark-colored winter coat.
Anyone with information on her whereabouts is urged to contact Barnstead police at 603-269-8100.
