Police Seek Public's Help To Find Missing Holbrook Mother

HOLBROOK (CBS) - Police are asking for the public's help in finding a Holbrook woman who has been missing since Monday.

Judith Sales was last seen leaving her home around 3 p.m. to pick up her son from daycare. Police say she never arrived.

"As long as she can come home safely, that's all that matters," Judith's husband Clifford Sales said Tuesday night.

Clifford reluctantly addressed his wife's disappearance after State Police detectives left his Holbrook home Tuesday night.

"It's very unlike her character," Clifford said. "She's a very dedicated mother and wife and co-worker."

Sol Cohen says his sister-in-law was supposed to pick up her son from daycare Monday afternoon after leaving a Walgreens in Taunton where she works as a pharmacist. Her husband reported the 39-year-old missing when she didn't show.

"Her relationship with her husband and their 10-year-old son is very good," Cohen said. "They just went away on vacation recently to California. They spent some time together over the weekend."

Police pinged her cell phone in Connecticut. Since then that phone has been off.

Relatives are frantic, and hope someone has seen Judy Sales or her 2008 white Toyota Camry with license plate number 19TN38.

"She's never done anything like leave before," Cohen said.

Holbrook Police said they are trying to activate the car's LoJack system.

"We have a lot of missing persons with juveniles and stuff like that, but as a woman of her age with children, not too frequently, " Holbrook police chief William Smith told WBZ-TV. "We're looking at everything, every possibility."

Anyone with any information is asked to call the Holbrook Police Department.
