Theresa A. Coen, 52, left her Penzance Road home without any of her belongings, Rockport police said in a press release Tuesday. At the time, Coen was “believed to be in danger.”

A Rockport woman who has been missing since Saturday is not expected to be found alive, officials said Wednesday.

The release did not elaborate on how or why she may be endangered.

Rockport police transitioned its search for Coen into a recovery operation “based upon the ongoing investigation into the facts and circumstances surrounding her disappearance,” a statement released Wednesday said.

“Information obtained throughout the course of investigation has lead Rockport police to determine that it’s unlikely the individual will be found alive,” Rockport police spokesman John Guilfoil said Wednesday night.


Rockport police received assistance from state and municipal police as well as K9 units in their search for Coen, Guilfoil said.

The investigation is ongoing, but foul play is not believed to be a factor, police said.
