There is no formal search planned for July 4th. Enjoy the time with your families. The Coutu family will be working with the police to figure out the next steps. We'll keep you posted. A big thank you to all of you who have volunteered, offered support and helped spread the word.

Updates from Jackie & Colleen regarding the next steps- July 2nd

Tomorrow we are just asking if you have time to go out into your own neighborhoods and do what you can. We have nothing planned for tomorrow Tuesday the 3rd or Wednesday the 4th. We are working with the police to see where to go from here. I'll keep you all updated. Thank you so much for the support and volunteer efforts!

Leo's daughter

Well folks, still no word on Leo Coutu. We canvassed the Tyngsborough area over by Lake Mascuppic. A wonderful outpouring of support for Tanya, Jackie, Rylee and Lily! We are not giving up!! Please keep spreading the word and photo of Leo. A video will be on local access tv and hopefully lowellsun.com. I will be on WBZ radio with Dan Rea tonight about 10:00 pm. We are deliberating on our next step. Please keep checking facebook for more information. Again, thank you to all the volunteers who have weathered the heat and prickers and even poison ivy and sumac looking for Leo.

Search for missing Dracut man intensifies

Lowell Sun article: Search for missing Dracut man intensifies 

By Evan Lips, elips@lowellsun.com

TYNGSBORO -- The search for a Dracut man missing since last Tuesday resumed again Monday morning, this time in Tyngsboro within the neighborhood surrounding Lake Mascuppic.

Dracut state Rep. Colleen Gary joined the cause to find Leo Coutu, a 49-year-old retired corrections officer who was last seen by his family Tuesday at their Davis Road home. Scores of volunteers have already search the Tyngsboro-Lowell-Dracut State Forest and other areas with help from local police and the North Eastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council.

Gary addressed search volunteers Monday morning at the Tyngsboro Multi-Service Center, located at 180 Lakeview Ave. She said she knows Coutu through several friends and added that his family has never experienced any similar behavior from Coutu.

For more information on the search for Leo Coutu please read Tuesday's edition of the Lowell Sun or visit www.lowellsun.com.
