MANCHESTER, NH (MyFoxBoston.com) -- Manchester Police are searching for a missing woman and her male roommate, and believe they could be in danger.
"Her family has some grave concerns for her safety, and his as well, because they don't know where either party has disappeared to," said Lt. Brian O'Keefe.
Police said 57 year old Sue Hutchinson was last seen at her Manchester apartment on September 20.
Hutchinson's former partner and close friend, Angel Torres, told FOX25 he spoke to her by phone shortly before she disappeared.
"It just kills me," Torres said. "I can't understand her just disappearing like that."
A few days after her disappearance, Torres said he found one of Hutchinson's cars, a 1992 Buick Century, parked a few blocks from her apartment.
Investigators said they want to speak to any witnesses who may have seen someone parking that car.
"I don't know what to think, I'm just so tired of thinking of scenarios," Torres said.
Hutchinson lived with 36 year old Stephen "Bishop" Andrade, who family friends said moved in after he ended a relationship with Hutchinson's daughter.
Andrade was reported missing one day after Hutchinson disappeared, as her family members became increasingly concerned about both roommates.
"It raises red flags for us as police officers. We want to make sure that both she and he are found safe, because the family feels that something is amiss," Lt. O'Keefe said.
Police said Andrade was last seen driving Hutchinson's 2005 silver BMW 5 series, with New Hampshire license plate 380 6038.
Investigators said Andrade drove the BMW to a family member's home in Boston on September 20 to spend the night, and then drove back to New Hampshire on September 21.
Andrade was last spotted inside a GameStop store in Bedford, NH on September 21 before he also disappeared, according to police.
"I think it's early in the investigation to say that foul play is involved, but it certainly wouldn't be ruled out at this point in time," Lt. O'Keefe told FOX25.
Family members said they just want answers, telling FOX25 it is out of character for both Hutchinson and Andrade to vary from their usual routines.
"We miss her," Torres said of Hutchinson, a mother and grandmother. "She just needs to get back home."
