A 29-year-old Falmouth woman who was the subject of a search this week has been found safe in New York City, Falmouth police said Friday evening.
Christine Hammontree, 29, who previously lived in New York but had been living most recently with her parents in Falmouth, was visiting the city with a boyfriend this week, said Falmouth police Lt. Jeff Pardue.
Surveillance video showed that Hammontree was last seen leaving a McDonald’s restaurant in Times Square in the early-morning hours of Monday. She was getting into a vehicle with a group of unidentified people.
Hammontree was expected to return home earlier this week, but when she did not appear and could not be reached, her parents reported her missing Tuesday, Pardue said.
Although Hammontree was in New York at the time she lost touch with her family, because she lived in Falmouth, the Falmouth Police Department was the primary agency responsible for investigating. It said Friday on its Facebook page that the investigation also involved the New York Police Department and state and federal law enforcement agencies.
Police spoke with Hammontree’s boyfriend, but Pardue declined to say whether the boyfriend also lost contact with Hammontree during their visit.
