NICKERSON STATE PARK
Travel the road to the upper campgrounds in Nickerson State Park and you may think for a moment that you have been magically transported to the Berkshire Hills or the piney woods of the Carolinas. Nowhere in sight are the sand dunes and salt marshes usually associated with Cape Cod. Instead, you are surrounded by woods that slope down to the banks of eight crystal clear fresh water ponds. Yet, if you walk or bicycle through the woods, you will find no rivers or streams feeding the ponds. These are “kettle ponds,” among more than 300 formed as glaciers retreated from the Cape over 10,000 years ago. Completely dependent on groundwater and precipitation, the water level in the ponds fluctuates from season to season and year to year.

| West Yarmouth Man Arrested in Multi-Agency Drug Trafficking Probe; More Than a Kilogram of Cocaine and Hundreds of Grams of Fentanyl Seized Friday November 13, 2026 |
|
WEST YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS ? Yarmouth Police Detectives, working with officers from the Barnstable and Harwich police departments and the Drug Enforcement Administration, executed search warrants Wednesday at a West Yarmouth address and a local storage facility. The operation led to the arrest of Gustavo Da Silva, 24, of West Yarmouth, and the recovery of substantial quantities of illegal narcotics and cash, according to a Yarmouth Police Department media statement.
At the West Yarmouth residence, investigators located approximately 173 grams of fentanyl, 64 grams of cocaine, 86 grams of crack cocaine, and $10,000 in cash. A subsequent search of the storage facility yielded 1.2 kilograms of cocaine, 298 grams of fentanyl, and 192 grams of counterfeit Adderall tablets made with methamphetamine. An additional $2,900 was found on Da Silva during booking.
Da Silva was charged with trafficking 200 grams or more of fentanyl, trafficking 200 grams or more of cocaine, and trafficking 100-200 grams of methamphetamine. He was arraigned Thursday in Barnstable District Court and is being held without bail.
The Yarmouth Police Department stated that it remains committed to proactively addressing drug-related activity and ensuring the safety of the community. |

| Day 6: SWAT and Firefighters Re-Search Area of W. Barnstable Cranberry Bogs in Ongoing Search for Clare Fearon Tuesday November 10, 2026 |
|
WEST BARNSTABLE, MASSACHUSETTS ? The multi-agency search for 76-year-old Clare Fearon entered its sixth day Tuesday morning as local firefighters and members of the Cape Cod regional SWAT team assembled near the J.A. Jenkins & Sons cranberry bogs off Parker Road. The teams fanned out across terrain that had already been covered in earlier efforts, with instructions issued to two separate groups of SWAT members and firefighters drawn from police and fire departments across the Cape.
Barnstable Police provided the following update late Monday on the prior day's efforts: coordinated operations involving the Barnstable Police Department Detective Division, Barnstable patrol officers, Massachusetts State Police patrol units, and the Massachusetts State Police K9 Unit failed to locate Fearon. An aerial search by the Massachusetts State Police Air Wing was planned for that night.
Investigators have refined the search using nationally recognized search management practices, combining historical data on the behavior of missing and lost persons with information developed during the investigation to prioritize areas with the highest probability of locating her. Key sightings reported by residents have helped shape those efforts. On Friday, November 6, detectives learned from one resident that Fearon was seen in the area of 461 Parker Road at approximately 10:30 a.m. on November 5. A second resident reported seeing her in front of 298 Parker Road around 11:00 a.m. the same morning.
Detectives also confirmed Friday that part of Fearon's regular routine included driving with a family member to the Barnstable Market at 3220 Main Street in Barnstable. Surveillance footage from the market provided the description of the clothing she was last known to be wearing: a blue shirt and black pants. Police noted that an ?enhanced? photograph of Fearon has been circulating online; the Barnstable Police Department did not release that image, which appears to have been created from the market surveillance footage.
At this time, investigators have received no information suggesting Fearon's disappearance is suspicious, and there is no reason to believe there is any danger to the public. Anyone with information about her whereabouts, or who may have video footage that could assist investigators, is urged to contact the Barnstable Police Department at 508-778-3874.

A Good Samaritan, who had been nearby at their child's school bus stop, stepped in to care for the dog while the mother and her daughter spoke with police and firefighters. The young daughter was transported to Cape Cod Hospital for evaluation of minor injuries. A family member of the mother and daughter later arrived to take custody of the dog.

The crash completely closed Route 6A in both directions, causing significant traffic delays. There were no serious injuries reported, though at least one woman was transported to Cape Cod Hospital for evaluation of abdominal pain, possibly related to the seat belt during the impact.

The driver of the heavily damaged pickup truck sustained relatively minor injuries and was not transported to the hospital. The Barnstable Police Department investigated the cause of the crash. In the photos above, firefighters work to pry open the engine compartment to disconnect the battery, reducing the fire hazard before the vehicle is towed.
ABOVE: Barnstable and Yarmouth police officers conducted a recent traffic stop near the town line in West Yarmouth during the early morning hours. The vehicle's license plate was completely obscured by a black substance. The adult male and female occupants, both from the Boston area, had significant prior police histories, though neither had active warrants. Officers observed a container of prescription medication; neither occupant could produce a valid prescription, and the medication was confiscated. No other drugs were found. After the driver cleaned the substance from the license plate, the couple was sent on their way.
