Bend Police provided more information Tuesday about a surveillance photo they released in the search for a Bend woman who has been missing for more than a week.
Police say the family of Melissa Rosann Trench, 38, hasn’t seen her since the night of Dec. 26. She was reported missing the next day.
Two photos of Trench were released on Saturday. One of them was from a store surveillance camera. Bend Police say that was taken at Fred Meyer just before 8:00 p.m. on Dec. 26, and it was after she left her family’s home.
The surveillance photo is taken from above, so you can’t see her face. But Trench is wearing a green down jacket with fur on the hood. Police say that’s what she was reportedly wearing when she was last seen.
