N.H. police find former Warwick girl, 14

The Nashua, N.H., police last night located a missing 14-year-old girl who had been staying at a Nashua shelter and who had lived in Warwick within the past year, the police said.

Heather S. Holmgren had been staying with her mother and siblings at the shelter for about three weeks before she was last seen at about 4 p.m. Dec. 21 in Nashua.

Today, the police said Heather had intentionally fled the shelter and had been staying with various acquaintances in the southern New Hampshire area. Heather was returned to her mother’s custody, the police said.

Before coming to Nashua, Heather had lived in Plymouth, N.H., for several months, and she had lived on Post Road in Warwick within the past year, the police said. The girl had run away in the past, the police said.

At midday yesterday, the police released a photograph of Heather, saying she might have traveled to Maine, New Jersey or Rhode Island. The police located Heather at 7 p.m. yesteday, but did not notify the Journal until today.
