Amanda Grazewski, now 26, was last seen on Birch Street while staying with a friend. She reportedly left home in the early morning hours. Grazewski, however, left her purse, cell phone, and other belongings, and vanished.
Police at the time noted Grazewski had a
history of substance abuse and was known to frequent or
previously live in Hooksett, Manchester,
Nashua, and Salem.
When she went missing, she did not own or have access to a vehicle, police said.
Capt. Vern Thomas of the Derry Police Department said detectives had logged hundreds of investigative hours searching for Grazewski. He said that time was spent conducting interviews, area searches, and Internet and social media examinations. Police have also followed up on many tips, but none have revealed where Grazewski is or why she disappeared, Thomas said.
“Derry police continue to investigate all possible leads and interview known associates of Amanda and the friends last believed to have seen her,” he said.
Thomas added, as the department keeps the
investigation active, many people are just learning about her disappearance for the first time now. He said this had caused “a re-circulation of old tips being offered as ‘new.’”
Detectives, however, would continue “to sort through these in hopes of finding new investigative leads to pursue.”
On March 6, Grazewski turned 26.
Derry police keep an investigation active for Grazewski — who has been missing since March 2020; she was known to frequent Nashua and Salem.

Asked if police suspect foul play, Thomas said he would not speculate. But he said it is concerning that Grazewski did not take her phone and purse with her. “It’s unusual,” he said. “In this day and age, most people don’t leave their phone behind.”
The young woman’s disappearance was not reported by the others who were in the house; it was an aunt who told police she was missing two days later, Thomas said.
Not knowing is incredibly painful for the loved ones of the missing, he said. “It’s a terrible thing, and in this case, it’s somebody’s child and somebody’s parent,” he said.
Three years after a Derry woman disappeared, police are still hoping the public can help them discover what happened to her.
