I was walking my daughter and saw the yellow tape and cops through the woods around 5:30. Very sad and surprising there have been no public comments or news. The police said there would be a press conference soon. I believe they have to notify the family first. I did hear there was a missing persons report who matched but that’s hearsay.

Also live close by. Was walking my dog into the park when I saw the first police cruiser arrive. There were a couple guys who were at the tennis court and a woman with her two dogs behind the courts.

I think she might have been the one to discover the body. It was still so early so I didn't want to ask questions but still lots of police activity in the area. I can't believe there's nothing on the news about this yet.

If the Rummage Room is still in Old Greenwich, it might have something good. The bonus is you can stop at Alpen Panty and get the best sandwiches ever (whatever you get, ask for extra meat and get it on black bread)

The Elm Street Goodwill is the way to go. It's much bigger and nicer. The stuff is the same but it just has more selection because of more space. I still go to the Broad Street one sometimes but it's very tight and kinda dingy. I went to the Goodwill in Norwalk once and it's pretty good too but not as big as Elm Street.

There's one at St. John's church downtown but it's only open twice a week or so for a few hours and it's also just one small room the size of a bedroom so not a lot of stuff but they had some high quality clothes and jewelry and housewares.

There's a Salvation Army in Port Chester that's pretty big, probably similar size to the Elm Street Goodwill but spread over 3 floors. So a good amount of selection but pretty expensive.

Then there's the Rummage Room in Old Greenwhich but I haven't had a chance to check it out because of its limited hours.

The one in Stamford on Elm St. has a lot of Target overstock. Like a lot. Mostly clothes and accessories and home things (so I guess everything lol) some of the stuff is good but mostly it’s just the junk that didn’t sell at target. I’ve been wanting to try the other Stamford goodwill, I heard it’s good. Let me know if you end up going :)
