Police search for man after ‘elderly’ woman found dead in her Bedford home

Bedford Police are actively seeking a man believed to be linked to the homicide of an elderly woman discovered deceased inside her residence on Thursday.

Authorities were summoned to a home in the 2400 block of Meadow View Lane at approximately 4:14 p.m. on June 6 following reports of an unconscious individual.

Upon arrival, officers encountered the lifeless body of an elderly woman, the exact cause of death remaining undetermined.

During the investigation into the death, Bedford Police detectives uncovered surveillance footage capturing a slender, light-skinned male adorned in a black shirt, black tights, white sneakers, and a potential wig approaching the victim’s front entrance.

According to investigators, the victim engaged in conversation with the unidentified individual who subsequently requested to use her phone. Following her refusal, the suspect allegedly forcibly entered the residence.
