Police have been combing the Worcester neighborhood in search of Solomon. The new discovery comes just one day before her husband’s wake and two days before his funeral. 
Last Thursday, Worcester Police shared footage of the alleged killer wife strolling outside a veterinary medical facility about a mile from the crime scene.
Solomon can be seen slouching slightly as she walked past the animal center, and at one point glancing over her left shoulder.
The Ring security video was filmed at about 5.40am on Tuesday, August 18, about 10 minutes after officers found her husband dead inside their Wildwood Avenue home.
Karen and her husband, Kurt Solomon, a police officer with the Worcester force for 31 years, couple shared to two sons.
Residents in the couple’s Webster Square neighborhood where the couple lived for years, said there were no warning signs in their marriage.
Karen Solomon was even known as a champion for first responders after co-founding FIRST H.E.L.P, a group advocating for the mental health of police officers. She is also the author of two books on the physical and psychological experiences of emergency responders.

Members of the Massachusetts State Police Special Emergency Response Team (SERT) launched a week-long search for Karen Solomon. She has since not been seen alive. Now police believe a body recently discovered in the area belongs to the fugitive

Before locating Solomon, the police team hunting for the accused killer shared surveillance footage of her walking around the street in flip-flops a mile from the crime scene 

Karen Solomon was caught on surveillance footage walking near the parking lot of Westside Animal Clinic on Mill Street in Worcester, not far from her home 

At a press conference last week, Worcester District Attorney Joseph Early would not disclose how Kurt died, describing the situation as a domestic incident.
Solomon’s police officer mental health group, First H.E.L.P, released a statement in response to the tragedy.
‘Our first concern is for the officer who lost his life, his family, his colleagues, and the Worcester law-enforcement community,’ the group said.
‘We extend our deepest condolences to all those affected by this tragedy.
‘The Board of Directors is focused on maintaining the continuity, integrity, and independence of First H.E.L.P.’s mission, programs, and services to the first-responder community and the families we serve,’ the group added.
‘The organization will continue its work in support of those families and the broader first-responder communities.
‘The circumstances surrounding the Worcester investigation are an active matter for law enforcement.
‘First H.E.L.P. will have no further comment on the specific circumstances of the investigation.’
