BETHLEHEM — Police are looking for a Delmar woman who hasn’t been seen since March 26.

Meghan A. Marohn, 42, traveled to Stockbridge, Massachusetts that Saturday, and her unattended vehicle was found at Long Cope Park Hiking Trails in Massachusetts.

Marohn is an English teacher at Shaker High School. On March 31, North Colonie Superintendent D. Joseph Corr posted a notice on the district’s website, saying, “Ms. Marohn is a valued member of the North Colonie School community. This is a difficult and traumatic event, and our thoughts are with her family and friends.

“We know that this information may have a profound impact on students and staff. Counseling and support services are available for all members of the school community.”

A family member reported her missing, said Bethlehem Police Commander James Rexford, adding that she has a hiking background.

“We have very limited details,” he told The Enterprise on March 30.

Bethlehem Police are working with police from Stockbridge and Lee as well as Massachusetts State Police on the investigation.

Lee Police report that Marohn is about 5 feet, 6 inches tall, weighs about 120 pounds, and has red hair and green eyes. Police searched the area near her car on Tuesday, March 29, and continued to search on Wednesday.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Bethlehem Police Department at 518-439-9973.
