Divers search pond in missing Mass. mom case

LYNN, Mass. -- Divers were searching a Massachusetts pond Tuesday in the ongoing search for a mother who vanished Nov. 6, reports CBS Boston.

Jaimee Mendez, 25, of Swampscott, made two phone calls to friends that day, saying she was with a man in nearby Lynn and wanted to leave, reported the station. Swampscott and Lynn are adjoining suburbs north of Boston.

"She said, 'Listen, I'm on this street I'm with this guy, he's making me really nervous, I want to get out of here,'" her sister, Alyssa Mendez, told CBS Boston. "[Her friend] went to go pick up her up, she never showed, and her phone was off. That's the last anyone ever heard of her."

The man is a known Level 3 sex offender, family told the station.

Police in Salem discovered later the missing woman's jacket, cellphone, phone charger and ID in an industrial area, family told the station. Mendez' sneakers, men's clothing and a part of a rug were also discovered in a dumpster outside a drugstore in Lynn, according to family.

The Essex County District Attorney's office wouldn't comment on details of the ongoing investigation to the station.

State police spokesman David Procopio told the station that a state police dive team will search the Floating Bridge Pond in Lynn Tuesday morning for evidence in the case.

Mendez is reportedly diabetic and left her medication at home. Her family says she would never leave her five-year-old son, who is autistic, alone for such a long stretch of time.
