Worcester search for Karen Solomon near Coes Pond

Authorities are continuing a broad search in Worcester for Karen Solomon, the wife of veteran officer Kurt Solomon, who was found dead at the couple’s Wildwood Avenue home in what officials describe as a domestic violence case. Susan Solomon is considered possibly armed and dangerous, with surveillance footage and sightings placing her near Coes Pond and the Westcott Street area as investigators intensify the manhunt. The incident has prompted an extensive police response, including dive teams at Coes Pond, helicopters, and a heavy presence around Mill Street, as officers work to determine her whereabouts and secure the scene. The Worcester Police Department and the police union have publicly mourned Officer Solomon’s death and offered support to his family while noting his 31 years of service and role as a trusted member of the force. Soloman’s First HELP nonprofit, which focuses on police mental health issues, is also highlighted in connection with his family and community role, as the search for Karen Solomon enters a third day.
