NASHUA – The head of the Boston office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation said Monday that the bureau has joined with Nashua police in investigating what officials are calling the suspicious disappearance of Nashua resident April Jean Bailey.
Bailey, now 37, was last seen leaving her apartment at 45 Lynn St. the evening of Jan. 15, 2020, some 14 months ago Monday.
Investigators have said Bailey was carrying trash out of her residence at the time.
She was wearing slippers, black sweatpants and a large, black jacket with a hood that had fur around it, police and the FBI said.
“We are still relentlessly investigating the circumstances surrounding April’s disappearance, and any information, no matter how seemingly insignificant, may be important to finding her,” Joseph R. Bonavolonta, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Boston Division, said Monday.

“We thank those who have already provided information, and we urge other members of the community to come forward so we can bring April home to her family.”
Bailey is said to have been renting a room, or a small apartment, at 45 Lynn St., which is near the intersection of Lynn Street, Oneida Circle and Rhode Island Avenue.
Lynn Street runs off Taylor Street and connects with Waverly Street, which leads to the entrance to the city’s wastewater treatment plant.
Bailey is described as a white female, 5 feet, 3 inches tall and about 130 pounds. She has long black hair and blue eyes.
She also has a butterfly tattoo on her right shoulder, and another tattoo on her right ankle that reads “Damien.”

The missing-person poster distributed by the Boston office of the FBI shows photos and gives details on missing Nashua resident April Jean Bailey.
Friends and family said in the days and weeks following Bailey’s disappearance that they were baffled by her sudden, and mysterious, disappearance.
“All of us … are so lost and confused, because this is not her,” one relative said about a month after Bailey went missing.
Bonavolonta, meanwhile, said investigators urge members of the public to look at the missing-persons poster and additional photos of Bailey, which can be found at www.fbi.gov/wanted/kidnap/april-jean-bailey.
He asked anyone who may have information on the case to contact the Boston FBI office at 857-386-2000 or tips.fbi.gov.
