Wareham

A body was discovered along railroad tracks behind a CVS in Wareham, Massachusetts, on Friday. The body has been identified as 41-year-old Amy Nadolny, a lifelong resident of Middleboro. Nadolny had been reported missing since Sunday, September 7. The Plymouth District Attorney’s Office confirmed the identification on Monday.

Key details

Nadolny’s last known whereabouts were at a restaurant in Wareham, located only a block from where her body was found. The discovery of Nadolny’s body has raised concerns regarding her disappearance. The cause and manner of Nadolny’s death are currently under investigation by the state medical examiner. An autopsy is scheduled to determine the cause of death.

Massachusetts State Police detectives are treating the case as an “unattended death.” Local police departments from Wareham and Middleboro are also involved in the investigation. At this stage, investigators are collecting scene evidence and reviewing any available video, witness accounts and records that might clarify Nadolny’s movements prior to her disappearance.

Family and community response

Nadolny’s mother expressed heartbreak over the news, having been anxiously awaiting updates on her daughter’s safety. Neighbors and local residents reported concern following news of the discovery, and community members have been urged to contact authorities with any information that could assist the investigation.

Ongoing investigation

The investigation remains ongoing, with no further details currently available. Officials say additional information will be released when it is verified and appropriate to share. The state medical examiner will complete the autopsy and provide formal findings on the cause and manner of death once analysis is finished.

What to expect next

Investigators typically await autopsy results before releasing definitive determinations about cause and manner of death. In cases classified as unattended deaths, detectives focus on establishing identity, time and causes of death, and whether any criminal activity occurred. Authorities also coordinate with local agencies to gather records and follow leads.

How the public can help

Authorities ask anyone with information about Nadolny’s movements, the restaurant she was last seen at, or the area around the railroad tracks behind the CVS in Wareham to contact local police. Tips can help establish a timeline and provide details that may be relevant to the autopsy and ongoing inquiries.
