Stoughton police had yet to find the woman as of Thursday afternoon, but there were no indications of anything suspicious, Chief Donna McNamara said at a news conference.

"She remains missing and we're concerned for her health and wellbeing," McNamara said.

The 31-year-old was last seen around noon at her home in the area of Mill Street on Monday, according to police, and she was reported missing Tuesday. She did not have her cellphone on her.

"She is known to have a history of mental health challenges," police wrote in a statement, and McNamara said they were concerned she may not have taken her medications since Sunday.

The search was focused on the Mill Street area and Lakewood Drive, police said, asking people in the area to check surveillance cameras and buildings on their properties for any sign of the woman since Sunday.

She may have been spotted near Hammer Shop Pond in Sharon, according to McNamara, who said she is believed to enjoy walking in the woods and may be disheveled or unkempt.

Other law enforcement agencies were helping in the search, including by sharing drones and boats, police said.
