NH NH - Amanda Grazewski, 23, Derry, 17 Mar 2020

[Marg from Oz]

All of these women going missing in this area. Are there any thoughts on whether there is a serial killer in the area or are they all accidents?

Unfortunately there's also a lot of drug abuse and mental illness/depression that accounts for some of the incidents.

Marg, I also suspect that there is a human trafficking element in the area.

Fwiw..
Two N.H. women charged with sex trafficking
2017
''DERRY, N.H. — Two women face charges of trafficking women for sexual purposes as part of an online escort service operating in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.''
''At least 12 to 15 women were trafficked for sex through the website from Massachusetts communities that included Newton, Boston, Braintree, Lexington and Waltham, the Attorney General's Office said.''

Suzanne Harvey: Human trafficking happens here, too
''The usual response from Granite Staters when you mention human trafficking has been, “That doesn’t happen here in New Hampshire, only in those other countries and to other people.” Yet 83 percent of confirmed cases of sex trafficking in America involve U.S. citizens, and it occurs in every state. The perception in New Hampshire of this modern-day-slavery crime is starting to change through the dedicated work of the New Hampshire Human Trafficking Collaborative Task Force.''

Trafficking lawsuit with local tie sheds light on often-hidden abuse
''At the age of 26, a New Hampshire woman was coerced into prostitution by the man she thought was her boyfriend, according to a lawsuit she filed this week in U.S. District Court in Concord. Preying on her vulnerability — she had been sexually abused as a child and has developmental disabilities — and her desire for connection, the man “made sure that she actually believed that they were in a romantic relationship as he pushed her into commercial sex,” the lawsuit says.

He would buy her small gifts, physically assault her and threaten to leave her if she disobeyed, according to the lawsuit, which does not identify him and identifies the woman only by her initials. He later passed her on to two other sex traffickers, who continued to physically and verbally abuse her, the lawsuit says.''

Former Alabama officer arrested in Hampton on kidnapping, human trafficking, sex charges
''According to a news release from the U.S. Marshals Service, a warrant for the arrest of Joshua Matthew Davidson, 30, of Fort Deposit, Ala., was issued on June 25 from an Alabama court. Davidson, who marshals said is a former police officer, was accused of human trafficking, second-degree kidnapping and first-degree sodomy.

On Friday afternoon, U.S. Marshals of the Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force learned Davidson could be in the Seacoast area of New Hampshire. Those marshals relayed the tip to their New Hampshire counterparts, who worked with local law enforcement to apprehend Davidson.''

dotr, Good info.. Well, actually horrible info BUT good context into the struggle for many women who get into extremely disturbing circumstances. I am sure it is underreported or there is simply a derth of information.

 

[GVH]

I have been looking into her Facebook page. I need to check IG too based on previous comments.

[Nanneke]

I am glad people are continuing to look for Amanda. It is a strange feeling when someone disappears from your hometown. I read through some posts and went to her fb page and realized I actually have a mutual fb friend with her. <modsnip>

New details in this article by a reputable local reporter from July 24. The article includes interviews with Derry police and Amanda's mother. Texts on her phone (left at the friend's place in Derry) indicate she was looking to stay in Salem, about 10 miles south of Derry. The texts were traced to a burner phone. 9 days after she was last seen, her Social Security card was found in Manchester, about 10 miles north of Derry.

Thanks for sharing this. It's very sad. MOO her substance abuse is 100% at the bottom of this. By the way LE focused their searches in the woods near the Birch St apartment makes me think their theory is overdose followed by concealment.

 

[Bodhi]

From the article:

In mid-March, she was forced to vacate a hotel in Nashua and had brought her two backpacks of clothes, purse and phone to a friend’s apartment on Birch Street in Derry to stay the night.

That same night, she stayed up late with three or four others who were also staying there. Those were the last people who saw her. Thomas said they told police that Amanda stayed up when the rest turned in for the night. Someone allegedly woke in the early hours of the morning and noticed she was no longer there.

They waited two days before contacting a family member, and the family immediately contacted police.​

Yeah, that sure sounds likely.

It is so sad. I hope her child, mother, and siblings are supporting each other. What a diffcult time.

I agree about the searches. If Amanda left walk to a convenience store or went out for a cigarette and got locked out after the others were asleep, she wouldn't have gone into the woods. Birch St is a state highway, a busy road. She'd had walked someplace to stay warm. The hospital is on Birch St, there are 24-hour stores at each end of the street.

Searching woods near the apartment makes sense if they were looking for a body moved there by after death. If the others woke up and realized Amanda had died, one/some/all may have reasons to not want to be associated with her overdose or police coming into the apartment and moved her body.

If Amanda left the apartment to meet someone, expecting to be back shortly but either overdosed or was murdered by that person, the person she met could have hidden her body close by.

Searching the woods behind the police station doesn't make sense. Would you conceal a body behind the police station? The Salvation Army lot is nearby on Folsom Rd. Perhaps Amanda had been there before and police had reason to believe she might have headed that way.

I've heard parents in Derry refer to an area in the woods "behind the police station" as a general location where underage kids go drinking. It amuses parents of the kids who are caught there because most of Derry is wooded yet the kids go drinking "behind the police station" and--surprise--got caught. I don't think the reference to behind the police station is literal, though. I think it is just a way of identifying that whole area of town. It's near the town line and a small industrial area.

There's in an area nearby but not adjoining the police station where homeless people stay. Maybe the police officer made a made a reference to the woods and gestured in that direction and the reporter took it to mean immediately adjacent. That would make more sense. The area where homeless people live is in the woods off Franklin Extension. If you are looking at a map, it looks like Coteville Rd in Londonderry connects with Franklin Ext. in Derry but it doesn't.

Someone finding Amanda's Social Security card outside Eliot Hospital is bizarre. Could someone have considering dropping her off at the ER and then realized she'd died? Or did someone want police to think she'd been in Manchester after she was reported missing. Did discovery of the card prompt the police to make the missing person report public? It was the same day.

With what we know now, I doubt the people in the apartment harmed Amanda or moved her body after she overdosed. MOO. If they were aware enough to move a body, they'd have been aware enough to move her backpacks and phone. They had more than a day before they called Amanda's family, plenty of time to move her stuff. It sounds more like they thought she was going to show up and weren't alarmed she was not there when they woke up. But by the 2nd morning, they realized she hadn't come back to at least get her stuff.

Bumping for Amanda.

 

[Bodhi]

First time I've seen the exact address where Amanda was last seen.

Hoping the piece from a Boston station prompts some tips.

Six months after disappearance, concern grows for missing NH mom Amanda Grazewski

I currently live in Derry, have lived here since 2002. Never heard of this case until today.

That always makes me so sad when there’s so little coverage in the immediate area.

this case is painful as it’s seeming to move so slowly and some of her family has already come to terms with her not being alive anymore

Someone in that house knows something.
