Concerns initially were raised when Cynthia Anderson, 33, who'd recently been homeless, stopped communicating with friends, police said.
They became extremely worried when none of them could find her, Lt. Fred Pulice said.
"No one's been in touch with her for a while," the lieutenant said on Wednesday, April 17, nine days after Anderson was last heard from. "There's genuine concern."
One of the friends got a call from a masked number that Anderson had overdosed on drugs somewhere.
Authorities haven't been able to confirm the claim, Pulice said.
"Right now, we're running down any and all leads," he noted.
Authorities are also hoping that someone spots theΒ 5-foot-3-inch city native.Β She may be in the Bergen, Passaic or Essex county area, the lieutenant said.
ANYONE who sees Anderson or can help authorities find her is asked to contact Detective A. Blizzard at (201) 686-2193 or ABLIZZARD@ENGLEWOODPD.ORG.
OR call the Englewood police desk: (201) 568-2700.Β
All contact will be kept confidential.
