Found Deceased Me - Derek Adams, 46, Byron, 28 Dec 2016

[JerseyGirl]

Derek Adams was last seen around at his home in Byron at 11:30 Wednesday night, just before a storm dropped two feet of snow.

Adams is mentally disabled and left without his shoes, glasses and medication.

A dog also disappeared from the home on Thursday morning, but returned on Sunday. Harriman says investigators aren't sure whether the dog was with Adams.

Despite help from game wardens, state police and K-9s, there's still no sign of Adams. They don't know if he set off on foot or got a ride from someone.

That part of Maine is so remote/rural, heavy sigh.

So sad I hope they find him.

 

[Alleykins]

I hope they find him, too. If I were closer, I'd be out looking for him.

The most recent search this past weekend ended without any solid paths to follow. Derek's loved ones have not been hindered though, and they have posted on Facebook that they will once again head out this coming weekend.

They still haven't found him. It's been 9 months and not a trace of him has been found. Surely he must be somewhere. Boosting this because of the new news article and hoping he can be found (I'm a Mainer myself).

Derek Adams disappeared without a trace from his home in Byron, Maine in the early hours of December 29, 2016. According to the Portland NBC affiliate WCSH6, a hunter found skeletal remains on October 10, 2017. Authorities suspect they might be Derek’s remains. The family is now waiting for official confirmation from the state medical examiner’s office. The Oxford County Police Department was unable to comment on the status of the lab results, but confirmed to Dateline that Derek’s missing persons case is still open. Anyone with information regarding Derek’s case is urged to call the Oxford County Sheriff’s Department at 1 (800) 733-1421.

He is still in NAMUS. I hate that the families have to wait so long. I cannot imagine how they must feel during this waiting period. Hoping the best for them!

Thank you for posting that. I never saw a follow up news article that they had identified him after they'd suspected they'd found his remains.
