Police find body of Massachusetts woman named a suspect in death of her police officer husband

Karen Solomon, a mental health advocate, was found dead on Monday, six days after she vanished from her Massachusetts home, according to authorities. She had been suspected of killing her police officer husband, Kurt Solomon, who was found dead at their residence just before 5:30 a.m. on August 18. The couple's community mourned his death, with authorities naming Karen Solomon as a suspect and suspecting she was armed.

A body matching Karen's description was recovered, though final identification was pending. Police had a handgun found near her body, which was not a Worcester police service weapon. Authorities sought to question Karen, who had been at the house on the morning of her husband's death. A warrant charged her with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. The family thanked law enforcement for their efforts, describing the situation as heartbreaking.
