Michael Pearcy, Missing, May 1975 ME.
Michael Pearcy Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance Missing Since: May 1, 1975 from Tenants Harbor, Maine Classification: Endangered Missing Age: 22 years old Distinguishing Characteristics: Brown hair. Details of Disappearance Pearcy was last seen floating in a lobster boat in the ocean off Tenants Harbor, Maine on May 1, 1975. He was accompanied by his friend and business partner, Judd Miller, at the time. Miller had just purchased the boat. He and Pearcy have never been heard from again. The next day, Miller's boat was found anchored in the bay, empty. The hatch cover was off, leading to speculation that the vessel became overheated, and the plywood skiff was missing. The skiff was found floating upside down near Belfast, Maine a day after the boat was found. There was no sign of Pearcy or Miller. Investigators believe both men drowned. They speculate that one fell over and the other went in to save him, or that they both got into the skiff and tried to go back to shore, but got into trouble in the water. The water was only 40 degrees Fahrenheit on the day Miller and Pearcy disappeared, but the weather and the ocean conditions were ideal for sailing. The United States Coast Guard investigated and issued a report saying the two men were presumed lost at sea. Pearcy and Miller's cases remained unsolved and they are still presumed drowned.
