It was in a telegram article IIRC
I haven't seen it in any of the T&G articles I have read. Can you share the link to where it is?

He's a Westminster cop.Confused by this...if a local Princeton cop was working Sunday when the man showed up at the mountain and therefor knows the facts about that incident....wouldn't he have kind of been a bit preoccupied with a missing jogger.....there are quite literally two maybe 4 cops and a dispatch working in Princeton at any given time.
Also, the accident occurred in Westminster, not Princeton.He's a Westminster cop.

What do locals call it? We might as well use the proper terms.
What do you mean by towards/ into Wachusett? It's about 5 miles from her moms house. Do you mean she had a run to the mountain and within the trails and back?
Not Allowed
Social media pages that fall in the following categories are OFF LIMITS.
Family members of either a victim or a suspect
Friends of either a victim or a suspect
Most any other individual
Don't link to these pages, nor make reference to information you find on them.
They called in local aid immediately -- state police, Worcester County sheriff's office, mutual aid officers from surrounding towns, off-duty people who came in. I think the Middlesex County sheriff's office loaned a bunch of specialized vehicles. There was a list in one of the early reports from before she was found, but when they found her, they took out the information about the search.
The mountain, the auto road, the hiking trails, the base lodge, the visitor center where the auto road and some of the trails start, the summit. People like me who aren't strictly local will refer to the ski area, meaning that entire side of the mountain.
There are some popular trails on the opposite side of the mountain from the ski area that don't start at the visitor center. I don't remember if that area has a name or not.
Please do not sleuth anybody that may have some connection to Vanessa through SM. LE has yet to name a suspect or POI, so these these people are off limits according to Websleuth's rules regarding SM.
:tyou:
I know all that and have known all that from the beginning. As a local we were the first to hear she was missing. But what does that have to do with anything I just said previously?
The only two things locals refer to the mountain as is either "the mountain" or "wachuset" but most people say The Mountain because the local HS is Wachusett and that can be confusing.
No one local calls it any of those other things unless they are trying to explain something to someone who doesn't know the area.
Sorry KayElJay. Won't happen again. :couch:
You said Princeton didn't have enough manpower to have a cop covering the base lodge area, so I mentioned there were other resources helping out. It was more for the non-local people in the thread.
So what do you call the base lodge? <modsnip>
No worries I totally get how tempting SM can be! We just have to tread carefully (for now) & remember that WS rules are there for a reason. I can't even count how many times I've been uber suspicious of someone from looking through SM posts and that person turned out to be completely innocent.

First post, I hope I'm doing this right. I live in MA and saw this article saying that the motorcycle checks out.

It's just "the mountain" .
If you say your going to the mountain in the winter everyone knows that means to ski and you park at the lodge. If you are going there in the summer everyone knows it's for hiking and you'd park at the state park lot. No distinction neccasary.
And biker bars just aren't a big part of the local culture when you grow up here, so so sorry for missing those but I didn't really grow up around biker culture.
