They don't list his middle name/initial in the missing report, but I found a Joseph A. Gagnon from the same physical location who has a BUNCH of vehicular infractions for driving illegal motor vehicles (no license plates, no inspections, no insurance, etc etc as well as speeding charges and a charge in 2020 for driving with conterfeit plates.) I can probably surmise that might have something to do with his fleeing, but hopefully he's not injured and is safe. Vermont Judiciary Public Portal

I don’t think it is the missing Joseph. Joseph A G died in 2023.

I believe the missing person to be Joseph M Gagnon, born Dec 1972

A possibility is that he started walking home and accidentally fell into an abandoned well or had an accident and is unable to call for help. He’s a smaller man, only 140 lbs.

There are quite a few in that area and this happened last week to a woman missing in GA. It’s such a frightening thought, but stranger things have happened!
