By Debbie Bier, editor of this blog.We just received a call from Deputy Chief Paul Macone and he asked us to convey the following information.
This morning, the Acton Police called and to say that a hiker had found what turned out to be Richard Nethercut's remains in the woods. Preliminary information is that there is no indication of foul play.
Dick Nethercutt was a beloved and much valued member of our community, and we are so sad that he has passed away -- and that there has been so much pain because no one knew his location or condition. That open-ended grieving can be just heart-breaking. At least that part of the mystery is over, with his having been found.
We will post more info as it becomes available.
