An arrest warrant has been issued for a mental health advocate who, as of Sunday, remained missing - more than five days after police discovered the Massachusetts officer she had been married to dead in their home.

Karen Solomon, 58, was last seen in a doorbell camera video, strolling down a street in a T-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops early Tuesday morning, just minutes after Worcester police officers responded to a call from the home where Kurt Solomon was found dead.

Worcester police chief Paul Saucier announced that the warrant charges Karen Solomon with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. Saucier confirmed that Kurt Solomon, a 31-year police veteran, suffered fatal injuries from a sharp object - though he declined to specify the exact weapon, because nothing says 'transparency' like a little mystery.

Meanwhile, the city of Worcester stated on Friday that public spaces around Coes Pond will remain closed as the search continues, involving dive teams and police dogs. Because nothing says 'weekend relaxation' like a pond closed for a manhunt.

"Kurt was a hell of a guy," Saucier said. "He was an awesome police officer and an awesome person, and he's going to be truly missed."

A wake is scheduled for Tuesday, with the funeral on Wednesday, the chief added.

Karen Solomon authored two books about the physical and psychological experiences of first responders and co-founded First Help, an organization advocating for their mental health. The Solomons shared a home and were married, according to court records - but authorities declined to discuss their current relationship, citing domestic violence privacy rules. Because why let the public know the status of a marriage when you can just hint at violence?

In the US, intimate partner violence is a common issue, affecting millions annually, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). More than one in three women (nearly 43.5 million) and more than one in six men (20.7 million) have reported experiencing physical violence, sexual violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner during their lifetimes, per a study cited by the CDC.
