BC senior Dana Morrissey was found safe in Newton on Monday, May 23, after being reported missing by her family and friends earlier in the day.

The Winchester resident and Communications major did not appear as scheduled at Commencement activities that day, which prompted a search of the area by Newton Police.

University spokesman Jack Dunn said that the BC community was relieved that Dana had been found safe and returned to her family.

“Our prayers have been answered regarding Dana’s safe return,” said Dunn. “We offer our support to the Morrissey family and extend our thanks to Newton Police and Massachusetts State Police in leading the search.”
