The Lexington Police Department in Massachusetts is urgently seeking information regarding Nora Orpin, a 21-year-old who was reported missing last Friday. Orpin was last seen at a bus stop in Lexington on the evening of March 20, according to a Facebook post from the department. She has red hair, stands 5'4" tall, and weighs 130 pounds. Orpin is easily identifiable by the scars on her left and right wrists, a ghost tattoo on her right lower forearm, and another tattoo on her right inner wrist with the word "Violet."
Lexington authorities are especially concerned due to Orpin’s mental health history, having attempted suicide around this same time in previous years by cutting her wrists and jumping into a frozen body of water, this is a period of acute vulnerability for her. She has also been known to fall into catatonic states that can last for hours where she does not respond to stimuli. The last known location of her phone was near 799 Concord Ave in Cambridge, close to Fresh Pond, which has prompted local law enforcement to petition for a Section 12, a mechanism allowing for emergency hospitalization of individuals posing risk of serious harm due to mental illness.
Anyone who has seen Orpin or has any information pertaining to her whereabouts is encouraged to contact the Lexington Police Department immediately at 781-862-1212.
