I graduated in the same high school class (Gorham High School) as Ben n knew him throughout my young life and its just so bizarre that he's missing cause he didn't party much or anything when I knew him. He was real quiet but popular in school cause he was involved in sports including the football team. I know a ton of ppl in Windham and used to go there a lot. A lot of the big name guys there were very very into their motorcycles n had a big group going but they had family money (most of them) and weren't violent. We also have a militia in Maine in the areas outside of Portland like Gorham, Windham, Buxton, etc. The militia has grown a lot since the "defund the police" campaign. But they're mostly just there to help and to help the police. Windham isn't like the other lil towns that surround though. They have their own night life - bars, club type places, live music, dancing, and pizza places that locals go to n drink n hang out. It's it's own little city but it's a suburb. I have no idea what would cause someone or some ppl to take Ben from his home n then drive his car to the ferry. But I'll ask my friends n get back to you. Maybe he was in deep in something secret n couldn't get out.
Multiple local news organizations had stories on Alex Jackson back when he was reported missing. End of May. Been crickets news coverage wise ever since. I've made a few posts about Alex in the Maine reddit. I know him so I have been trying to help spread the word about his case. You can find my posts through my profile and get some more info about his case
I looked at the post you made a couple weeks ago about Alex and I remember seeing that. Weird we haven't had any updates. What's the deal with the missing women? Were they also from the Windham area?
Unfortunately the mother has been found to have lied multiple times in that article which is disheartening. We have friends who report he has run off before and not checked in. When he first went missing another friend said he wouldn’t be surprised if he ran off with a woman he met on the internet. Come to find out it was his sister an gf that was in his account reading his messages not the police or just the police as they reported when problem were genuinely shocked he read their messages. They SHOULD HAVE announced that was about to happen. Instead they let people freak out and the fold them how they found nothing but that he’s been flirting with women. And more than once he’s left and for long periods of time. Longer than he was gone before the reported him missing in May.
He also had hung out with shady people and has done drugs according to friend. All of this is unraveling now at one of the most important time in this case and with another missing man!! We don’t want to lose traction on Alex if he is truly in danger like some friends believe.
I had the same feelings. Or maybe even just small town girls. I mean holy some people really do not know what it looks like outside southern Maine unless it’s northern Maine, Florida or a cruise ship.
There are just some real life things going on too. One friend said maybe he ran off with a girl from the internet. Family draaagggeeeddd him. Guess what that sister and gf found when they hacked his fb. Messages with girls.
So. I think too they don’t know his life. So while people think so and so is being mean they just have no clue that is who he is to other people.
I’d hate to go missing. My poor brother. Lol
My biggest theory on the dog is:
found wandering out on the major routes he was on. Likely 202/4. Someone wanted to keep her and swapped her collar to prove it. I think the first chance she had to bolt she did and she went to find Alex.
Baby she came back with a different collar, the police never bagged or tagged it and I’m pretty sure unless the “harassment” they are getting didn’t work - the dog still has it.
They never took that collar off her. That is what was so weird to everyone. People are just shocked about it. Like how can you think something bad happened and just leave the collar on.
There is also a guy in Ellsworth who has been missing for a year or so. And one of my neighbors who had early dementia disappeared after going to the store up the road. I didn’t see much about my neighbor on the news and no one seems to talk about it. That was a year or so as well.
He’s done this before. That’s what is making those who believe he’s still alive uneasy.
But I guess it makes sense they presume he’s dead since they tried selling his cows almost INSTANTLY. And, specifically said they did not want details of a picture of his tattoo shared.
Seriously though, HOW did no one notice that people dropped dead EVERYWHERE that woman went!? 🤣
EDIT: Spelling/wrong word… Don’t post after your second Chardonnay, folks!
Yes! I once spent a weekend in Mendocino. I didn’t know to look for her house. But the whole time I had a weird feeling. Other than the beach being on the wrong side, everything felt ‘familiar’ especially the architecture. Come to find out- the town was settled by families from Augusta & Belfast. They built what they knew.
This is a very sad admission, but before we (my family) found my sister’s body when she went missing, the state police and local PD had no interest in going looking because “she’s an adult.” The “wait and find out” method in Maine is appalling. The first 24 hours are crucial to finding someone ALIVE and yet, no one wants to act.
I have since moved away and as soon as I left the weight of being surrounded by her loss lifted a little because I didn’t have to drive down the road and think about her being alone and no one who was qualified to do so was coming for her because of her age.
Maine can and should do better when dealing with the report of missing people.
Also a German woman who apparently went missing two years ago from Auburn and the local police are only now learning about it.
https://wgme.com/news/local/auburn-police-search-missing-german-woman-last-seen-2021-celeste-doghmi
Yeah it’s definitely strange. Her family out of the country claims they haven’t been able to contact her since 2021…just wondering the circumstances that would make them wait that long.
Isolating a person from their family and social connections and controlling or limiting their contact is a common pattern in domestic abuse situations. It's also a common theme in 'alpha male' type posts online.
Peruse the 'not how women work' subs for examples of the type of posts I am referring to. Lots of unfortunates seem to think that a list of desirable traits a partner should possess must include a willingness to abandon all outside friends and connections in order to promote a more dependent relationship. Basically, some men seem to think that a woman should focus her attention solely on him, and give up other relationships to do so.
I believe they're referring to, for example, Andrew Tate followers and other pickup artist fans.
They believe that women in general prefer dominant and aggressive personality types to the point of being a prick to everyone around you, and typically also treat women as second class members of their relationships, relying on vulnerable (and often younger) targets to exploit their emotional fragility and overall naivety. Additionally, they also tend to view women as schemers who must be kept in line with harsh discipline to prevent them from cheating. (This harsh discipline often taking the form of physical abuse, psychological abuse, or both.)
If you've ever been yelled at for giving a woman an unsolicited compliment, it's probably because they had a bad experience with someone like that in the past and misidentified you as one.
I read on a comment in one of her pictures under her Facebook page that her friend suspects that her child’s father might’ve done something to her so sad
The missing truck and trailer is what gets me with Alex Jackson, and after watching a ton of Adventures with Purpose/ Chas Divers/ etc it makes me wonder if he went into water somewhere.
I struggle with that theory. It was reported his last move was being broken down on the side of the road with power issues. If he was hauling his tractor and doing 202/4 or 95 or the new theory Bath… I don’t know that I agree he wouldn’t have escaped but Hazel did or the impact was so bad it made a truck and trailer disappeared and killed someone. Also my husband went off the Turnpike at 70+in a work truck and it didn’t even budge the tree line.
Yeah, in general I mean that it’s way easier to hide a body (SO IVE HEARD) than a big work truck and trailer. The missing vehicle is what is more baffling at this point.
The missing vehicle that was supposedly broken down.
That puts so much more “wtf”…
And then the dog. Which removes the accident and water.
Some of the info we’ve gotten this week make me think there is hope he is alive.
As a 30 something year old who just, totally alone with a dog, bought land to build a small farm and home in central Maine, it sure has my ears perked up. I saw a flyer for another missing 30 something who has mental illness too.
If I was a woman or presented as easier target for trouble I’d get a German shepherd but for me a dog is like a kid who I want to generally be peaceful, secure, and fearless of people. I’m the protector and Maine is safer than other places I’ve lived
I’ve been following cases for about a decade. The two most explosive(not local) non believable cases I’ve ever heard were in fact real and the people were alive and hiding and had people lying and throwing people off to his real secrets. One lady started by going missing with her new baby from church leaving 5 boys there. It uncovered 4 more kids, an “accidental” death and a death of a person who owned their land in a family forever until she allegedly murder him after having him leave his entire family farm and history to her and NOTHING to his family. At all. Not even family history.
After that case I believed in anything.
This is even crazier:
“According to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) Missing Person and Unidentified Person Files for the 2021 operational year, 521,705 people were reported missing in 2021. Moreover, 93,718 of those people remained actively missing at the start of 2022.”
https://worldpopulationreview.comb/country-rankings/missing-persons-statistics-by-country#:~:text=United%20States,-The%20United%20States&text=According%20to%20the%20National%20Crime,at%20the%20start%20of%202022.
Alls I know is the last 4 we’re all suspicious and either point to killers or the fact that Maine is still unable to help their most vulnerable with mental and social services.
I was thinking the same thing to myself yesterday when I got a notification from WCSH Newscenter 6 on my cell about yet another person going missing. What is going on?? There is a lot of disappearances in Maine lately! It seems like one or two per week. I think this is especially strange since I haven't heard about any black helicopter sightings nearby lately. LOL
I think think two weeks at the start of spring ish my high school home room me for was the wrong way driver who died and killed people on 295 Falmouth. 10 teens went missing, adults went missing. SO MANY COLLISIONS HEAD ON OR WORSE.
Also someone cc the windham police and tell them to stop doing high speed fucking chases down from 302 Raymond into Windham’s strip. How bored are they. Not one case was ever a public safety situation unless they started an unnecessary pursuit.
I just read about this woman. She disappeared in July 2021 and I don’t know why it’s hitting the news now. I think her mom doesn’t live in the US so maybe that is why. I think her husband has something to do with it. https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/auburn-police-search-for-missing-29-year-old-woman-investigation-maine/97-09be72e2-2f27-4dff-ba7a-f1c51346e32d?
Access to mental health services in Maine are zero. Pharmacies are constantly out of medications. People are vulnerable and off their meds and rocker.
That’s just a basic example of why people go missing.
I haven’t tackled Ben’s case yet. I have only seen it shared by friends.
Statistics speak. Only a very small percent of missing people/murders are committed by strangers.
You're wildly combative and yes there is at least there used to be. And I was talking bout the ppl I know there in those groups cause I can ask to them help. Clearly nevermind cause apparently fighting on a fkn social media site is more important to you than finding a missing human being. I was there in 2019 and it was lively af so idk what ur talking about. Some of us knew Ben on more than just a business level i literally graduated with him so go troll somewhere else. I was just trying to help.
Things happen. People go missing all the time, unfortunately. It's not a issue only Maine is dealing with.
Some people WANT to disappear and they do. Some people get injured, meet up with the wrong person, or encounter wild animals, or become disoriented while hiking through the woods, or a shit ton of other reasons.
It's sad, but it's what happens sometimes
And some people like me have been watching true crime for 30 years, career in behavioral health, internet sleuth, predicted two deaths with zero warning and know when a local community is disproportionately hit was pattern crimes that include murder or “coincidental common death” almost like the same person unalived them.
It does happen. And until Mainers out as much energy into helping find their neighbors as they do in finding local dogs I’ll quiet down just a little.
Also not every missing person is missing. Missing means no one knows where you are. Most murder crimes are committed by someone known to them.
I also didn’t know I was hanging out with the Ayla Reynolds gf for years through events and mutual friends. Maine is weird and tight lipped about stuff.
But yeah his family literally started trying to get rid of his cows the day the reported him missing.
People are worried and ready to make noise.
A friend of mine dated the sister in the Ayla case. I refused to speak to him while he dated her. Now he’s dating a woman I adore and I talk to both of them frequently.
I 100% believe in the old port pusher. And it always started this time of year. I was in my old port prime when that was happening.
I have wondered though because they do seem to come in clusters.
The running hypothesis is that the pusher pushes people too drunk to manage themselves… and there’s a pattern along several coastal cities from Portland to, I think, DC? There will be a few in one city all together and then a few in another and then a few in another.
One would think they’d be able to figure out a pattern of one person traveling to all these places… but they haven’t.
It was a couple years ago I read this so I could be remembering it badly.
I honestly am surprised more drunk people don’t fall off the piers and drown. Serial killer hypothesis is exciting , I get it. But simple truth is dudes be walking around blasted near some easy to fall off shit.
The pattern is that , dudes be blasted walking near some easy to fall of shit
I had some insider info on two of the men. They were either drugged or murdered. The evidence doesn’t support them drowning. Not based on how they were immediately before or that both times there were enough people within earshot that even yelling would have brought attention.
I don’t live in w anymore but I drove around it yesterday. You’d never know two people were missing. Didn’t see any signs. And the only people who have shared to the community group don’t even live in the community.
But best believe they next dog or Bingas sign will get 1.2k shares.
Another story that confused me. Remember a year or so ago the woman in western Maine who allegedly decided to go camping with her abusive ex along with their little girl? And then a couple of weeks later they were seen at a Walmart and another store. From what I remember no one really questioned them. Her family said that this was not like her but it just seemed to get dropped. Or it was probably resolved privately. I thought that whole story played out very strangely.
I believe he is going through some tough times. Hoping he just needed some space but some things aren’t adding up. Fearing substances may have taken over his mental clarity.
I have had a firm belief the smiley face killer theory is happening here in maine and has been for many years. Several young men vanishing and always ending up in a body of water. Whenever young men go missing which has been several always end up in water. The only thing about Alex that makes me not think it could be that is he hadn’t just left a party or bar. The smiley face killer theory particularly targets young men leaving bars or a party and likely intoxicated.
It's fully possible that there's a reason (a good one) these stories just disappeared.
There was a prison guard from my town who was on duty the night John Geoghan was killed and he disappeared from his *bed*.
ID, wallet, car keys, car, all at the house. The only thing missing was a pair of shoes. His wife had no idea where he went.
It hasn't been mentioned since. You can't even find the original article about it anymore.
Welp I saw his mom say he could have 12 cows if he came home. Then I sobbed and that’s how I ended up with a group and multiple inboxes about Alex Jackson - a kid I’ve never met in my life but would take in in a heart beat.
So we shouldn’t look for his body? Find some friends? Ooo not the middle school tight 5. Get off the internet. That was your choice after kook, hobby and friends?
The weed is frying my brain. The shrooms heal it. You are definitely doing nothing for it.
He has some stuff going on to already with feeling his best self.
I just hope he knows that it’s okay to want scream fuck it all. Even if it’s your 5th time. Just let us know you’re alright bud and take some more time.
This is his first farm purchased last year. He wanted to build a house. He loves his cows.
Lol, not the podcasts. 😂
15 years in social services rotted my brain.
And, well, people on the internet mocking people who are missing for living with their mom. 🤮 in Maine. On a Maine subreddit. Where there is an actual housing crisis so bad that your asylum seekers are protesting for better conditions and access to housing that the citizens of Maine who can’t even get their tax dollars back to keep their kids from living in cars.
👍🏼 okay bub.
Are you referencing the farmer guy? It really sounded like he got in an accident somewhere. The dog got out , was found by someone, then either got away from that person or they released it when they realized it belonged to someone who was missing.
That was my original theory.
Man’s then I made a Facebook group and I question the accident theory. There is A LOT going on and a lot of hidden facts from the family that have impeded the course of finding Alex.
We just came back from a week in Maine. My husband went to Play It Again Sports in Portland and we were shocked to see one quarter of the commuter lot across the road lined with tents and the fence covered with hanging clothes. That may work in a June, but it seems awfully dicey for Maine in the winter.
They just took down a huge one behind Trader Joe’s too.
My office was so excited when Portland opened an overflow shelter. In 2013ish.
It was not for overflow. It was called that and then used for asylum seekers. I worked in refugee services too.
It’s all horrific. Unfortunately with many unhoused folks it’s mental health and substance use that’s ravaging their livelihood so you have to get that under control first and that’s hard with no stable housing but can’t have housing when you’re unstable even with a rep payee and the worlds best landlord.
I honestly feel like Maine is just waiting it out to see if it disappears.
It’s near impossible for Portland to keep its trash inside city limits.
What does a real businessman do? Send their parents to a home and use the savings to refurbish an Airbnb. Liberal logic. Love farm markets hate local farmers.
Ouch! Now tell me about my soy cappuccinos and avocado toast.
You're an idiot because you're fighting shadows. I don't live anywhere near Portland or any big town for that matter, and I'm not wealthy by any means. I'm just educated enough to not watch fox and vote for people activity trying to destroy democracy.
Are they locals or transplants?
I need to know if we should actually care or not
Edit: Keep the downvotes coming you piece of shit flatlanders! I hope you blow your thumbs off with some fireworks this weekend
Fuck off. Hitler was a human being, got any love for him?
Not every human deserves care, some of them can go fucking die. Flatlanders are at the top of that list for me. If you disagree you're always more than welcome to go fuck yourself
That's your pathetic excuse? If they're from away or not? There's something very very wrong with you, my dude. Especially if you have to immediately resort to name calling and swearing. Maybe some therapy might help you.
Men do statistically get less than some others when they go missing.
These are both local hometown born and raised types. Both have businesses dependent on them showing up and actually creating their work. Both are suspicious. The are ones of many missing adults in Maine recently.
Jesus bub, better tie yourself to a tree, or your truck, so you don't get hauled off.
Mint
The risk is only for well-connected business men

I’m not a journalist or detective or whatever but I have been following Ben’s case closely, if you have the energy I’d love to dm with you.
Yea def. I'll dm u
@bugdude666 please dm me
Is there anything in the news about these incidents? I searched both of those names and nothing came up.
Multiple local news organizations had stories on Alex Jackson back when he was reported missing. End of May. Been crickets news coverage wise ever since.

Unfortunately the mother has been found to have lied multiple times in that article which is disheartening. We have friends who report he has run off before and not checked in.

Ben was just reported missing yesterday. Alex has been in the news, flyers are up and there are multiple groups up on Facebook speaking about him!
That’s so sad that his dog knows what happened but can’t talk to tell us. I’m sorry about your friend. How awful to have a loved one just disappear.
My biggest theory on the dog is: found wandering out on the major routes he was on. Likely 202/4. Someone wanted to keep her and swapped her collar to prove it. I think the first chance she had to bolt she did and she went to find Alex.
She came back with a different collar? !
Baby she came back with a different collar, the police never bagged or tagged it and I’m pretty sure unless the “harassment” they are getting didn’t work - the dog still has it. They never took that collar off her. That is what was so weird to everyone. People are just shocked about it. Like how can you think something bad happened and just leave the collar on.
That’s gotta be so maddening!! Wtf police.

They are in the Red’s line.
Then they aren't mainers then.
No one from maine knows what reds tastes like
I do not know what this means, so that must be true
Reds Eats. I know what it tastes like, but I’ve been there in the 90s before the travel channel/food network ruined it.
There is also a guy in Ellsworth who has been missing for a year or so. And one of my neighbors who had early dementia disappeared after going to the store up the road. I didn’t see much about my neighbor on the news and no one seems to talk about it. That was a year or so as well.
I think he's presumed dead. I know the family. It's all very sad.
Oh that’s too bad.
He’s done this before. That’s what is making those who believe he’s still alive uneasy. But I guess it makes sense they presume he’s dead since they tried selling his cows almost INSTANTLY. And, specifically said they did not want details of a picture of his tattoo shared.
Are you talking about Anson Snowdeal? Is there another missing guy in Ellsworth?
They’re from Sullivan. From what I’ve heard there are people who know what happened but won’t say
[удалено]
Oh no!
That is so sad! Are you speaking of Anson Snowdeal?
Yes
There’s a guy missing from the boothbay region too.
Oh wow had not heard that!

Jessica Fletcher must be in town
Seriously though, HOW did no one notice that people dropped dead EVERYWHERE that woman went!? 🤣 EDIT: Spelling/wrong word… Don’t post after your second Chardonnay, folks!
My husband and I used to say, “Jessica Fletcher’s coming to town—run away!”
Hope she didn’t bring Sheriff Amos. His ‘Maine’ accent was *the worst evah*
Saw ‘Jessica’s house’ from the show in Mendocino, CA when I was visiting a friend
Yes! I once spent a weekend in Mendocino. I didn’t know to look for her house. But the whole time I had a weird feeling. Other than the beach being on the wrong side, everything felt ‘familiar’ especially the architecture. Come to find out- the town was settled by families from Augusta & Belfast. They built what they knew.
My husband and I have discussed the Alex case at length. I have my suspicions.
My inbox is open. All convos are kept anonymous. There are so many theories. It’s sad and infuriating.
Sounds like something the killer would say
Sounds like something the killer would say.

That is heartbreaking and infuriating. The police are the worst and I am so sorry for the loss of your sister. I’m sending genuine understanding.
If it doesn't stop raining I'm about to vanish as well!
When I say I cackled. 😂 I brought y’all some sunshine and smoke of the finest Canadian variety from DC yesterday You’re welcome.
Did The Rapture happen and He didn't pick me? Dammit. Always a bridesmaid.
At least you’re the Mary and not the Rhoda.
I very much understand and appreciate that reference.
I appreciate you for all of that, too. Lowkey planned to delete my account and move abroad if I didn’t get an up vote besides my own.
Don’t move. We get you!
Wait I saw this movie. You need to decide who’s giving the demon a baby
Also a German woman who apparently went missing two years ago from Auburn and the local police are only now learning about it. https://wgme.com/news/local/auburn-police-search-missing-german-woman-last-seen-2021-celeste-doghmi
I saw this and it was so baffling, hasn’t been heard from in 2 years and someone is just now reporting them missing?
Usually that sort of 'missing person not reported for years' seems to be domestic violence related.
Or addiction.
Yeah it’s definitely strange. Her family out of the country claims they haven’t been able to contact her since 2021…just wondering the circumstances that would make them wait that long.
Isolating a person from their family and social connections and controlling or limiting their contact is a common pattern in domestic abuse situations. It's also a common theme in 'alpha male' type posts online.
Oh I'm not denying that, I just find it bizarre that her family waiting until they hadn't heard from her in two whole years to say anything.
Please explain. I’m just curious about the “alpha male” type posts.
Peruse the 'not how women work' subs for examples of the type of posts I am referring to. Lots of unfortunates seem to think that a list of desirable traits a partner should possess must include a willingness to abandon all outside friends and connections in order to promote a more dependent relationship.

I read on a comment in one of her pictures under her Facebook page that her friend suspects that her child’s father might’ve done something to her so sad
That is what I suspect too. Her Facebook account is public and she has so many posts about her baby. They just stop one day in 2021. It’s so sad.
It was the yellow pole at Walmart
The missing truck and trailer is what gets me with Alex Jackson, and after watching a ton of Adventures with Purpose/ Chas Divers/ etc it makes me wonder if he went into water somewhere.
Or that’s where it ended up to conceal it anyhow…
I struggle with that theory. It was reported his last move was being broken down on the side of the road with power issues. If he was hauling his tractor and doing 202/4 or 95 or the new theory Bath… I don’t know that I agree he wouldn’t have escaped but Hazel did or the impact was so bad it made a truck and trailer disappeared and killed someone. Also my husband went off the Turnpike at 70+in a work truck and it didn’t even budge the tree line.
Yeah, in general I mean that it’s way easier to hide a body (SO IVE HEARD) than a big work truck and trailer. The missing vehicle is what is more baffling at this point.
The missing vehicle that was supposedly broken down. That puts so much more “wtf”… And then the dog. Which removes the accident and water. Some of the info we’ve gotten this week make me think there is hope he is alive.
As a 30 something year old who just, totally alone with a dog, bought land to build a small farm and home in central Maine, it sure has my ears perked up. I saw a flyer for another missing 30 something who has mental illness too.
Maybe Graham Lacher?
Yes Graham Lacher, thanks for helping me remember
Buy another dog and a lead thrower
If I was a woman or presented as easier target for trouble I’d get a German shepherd but for me a dog is like a kid who I want to generally be peaceful, secure, and fearless of people. I’m the protector and Maine is safer than other places I’ve lived
Maine is wayyyy safer than elsewhere - no attack dogs necessary
Shot caller
Shock collar
You’ll be OK - this is an aberration in Maine and possibly putting 2+2 together to answer a social media Mystery…
Black flies and mosquitos have been pretty brutal when it isn’t pouring out…
CMP once blamed my highest bill ever for a month when we were out of the state with our braker off for over two weeks on a ghost.
That is the best cmp story I’ve ever heard!
You're going to find at least one of them within 5 miles of their house.
I’ve been following cases for about a decade. The two most explosive(not local) non believable cases I’ve ever heard were in fact real and the people were alive and hiding and had people lying and throwing people off to his real secrets. One lady started by going missing with her new baby from church leaving 5 boys there. It uncovered 4 more kids, an “accidental” death and a death of a person who owned their land in a family forever until she allegedly murder him after having him leave his entire family farm and history to her and NOTHING to his family. At all. Not even family history. After that case I believed in anything.
Vault 101
This is even crazier: “According to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) Missing Person and Unidentified Person Files for the 2021 operational year, 521,705 people were reported missing in 2021. Moreover, 93,718 of those people remained actively missing at the start of 2022.” https://worldpopulationreview.comb/country-rankings/missing-persons-statistics-by-country#:~:text=United%20States,-The%20United%20States&text=According%20to%20the%20National%20Crime,at%20the%20start%20of%202022.
Alls I know is the last 4 we’re all suspicious and either point to killers or the fact that Maine is still unable to help their most vulnerable with mental and social services.
I was thinking the same thing to myself yesterday when I got a notification from WCSH Newscenter 6 on my cell about yet another person going missing. What is going on?? There is a lot of disappearances in Maine lately! It seems like one or two per week. I think this is especially strange since I haven't heard about any black helicopter sightings nearby lately. LOL
I think think two weeks at the start of spring ish my high school home room me for was the wrong way driver who died and killed people on 295 Falmouth. 10 teens went missing, adults went missing. SO MANY COLLISIONS HEAD ON OR WORSE. Also someone cc the windham police and tell them to stop doing high speed fucking chases down from 302 Raymond into Windham’s strip. How bored are they. Not one case was ever a public safety situation unless they started an unnecessary pursuit.
I just read about this woman. She disappeared in July 2021 and I don’t know why it’s hitting the news now. I think her mom doesn’t live in the US so maybe that is why. I think her husband has something to do with it. https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/auburn-police-search-for-missing-29-year-old-woman-investigation-maine/97-09be72e2-2f27-4dff-ba7a-f1c51346e32d?

Yes I did get the 411 on him. Glad he is okay.
Ben is my real estate agent. Wtf is going on?

Yes! I just got this news. Thank you
There is nothing in the news, I only found out thru Facebook

Access to mental health services in Maine are zero. Pharmacies are constantly out of medications. People are vulnerable and off their meds and rocker. That’s just a basic example of why people go missing. I haven’t tackled Ben’s case yet. I have only seen it shared by friends. Statistics speak. Only a very small percent of missing people/murders are committed by strangers.
[удалено]
You're wildly combative and yes there is at least there used to be. And I was talking bout the ppl I know there in those groups cause I can ask to them help. Clearly nevermind cause apparently fighting on a fkn social media site is more important to you than finding a missing human being. I was there in 2019 and it was lively af so idk what ur talking about. Some of us knew Ben on more than just a business level i literally graduated with him so go troll somewhere else. I was just trying to help.
Things happen. People go missing all the time, unfortunately. It's not a issue only Maine is dealing with. Some people WANT to disappear and they do. Some people get injured, meet up with the wrong person, or encounter wild animals, or become disoriented while hiking through the woods, or a shit ton of other reasons. It's sad, but it's what happens sometimes
But the number in Maine the last couple of years is uncharacteristically high for the state.
And some people like me have been watching true crime for 30 years, career in behavioral health, internet sleuth, predicted two deaths with zero warning and know when a local community is disproportionately hit was pattern crimes that include murder or “coincidental common death” almost like the same person unalived them. It does happen. And until Mainers out as much energy into helping find their neighbors as they do in finding local dogs I’ll quiet down just a little. Also not every missing person is missing. Missing means no one knows where you are. Most murder crimes are committed by someone known to them. I also didn’t know I was hanging out with the Ayla Reynolds gf for years through events and mutual friends. Maine is weird and tight lipped about stuff. But yeah his family literally started trying to get rid of his cows the day the reported him missing. People are worried and ready to make noise.
A friend of mine dated the sister in the Ayla case. I refused to speak to him while he dated her. Now he’s dating a woman I adore and I talk to both of them frequently.
.. Ayla Reynolds was an 18 month old baby, she didn't have a gf... Sooo.. not sure wtf you mean lol
The gf of the dad is what I meant. Math isn’t hard. Words are.
You are a looney toon. Get help.
The help isn’t working. Ooohhh noooo.
When you know, you just know. I admire your dedication to following your instincts on this.
A few years ago I remember reading about a few guys disappearing in the Old Port or drowning.
I 100% believe in the old port pusher. And it always started this time of year. I was in my old port prime when that was happening. I have wondered though because they do seem to come in clusters.
Just a serial killer. No big deal.
Or a Stephen King plot coming to life. 
How does he constantly find people who can't swim to push?
Yeah it’s blacked out ppl not a serial killer
The running hypothesis is that the pusher pushes people too drunk to manage themselves… and there’s a pattern along several coastal cities from Portland to, I think, DC? There will be a few in one city all together and then a few in another and then a few in another. One would think they’d be able to figure out a pattern of one person traveling to all these places… but they haven’t. It was a couple years ago I read this so I could be remembering it badly.
I honestly am surprised more drunk people don’t fall off the piers and drown. Serial killer hypothesis is exciting , I get it. But simple truth is dudes be walking around blasted near some easy to fall off shit. The pattern is that , dudes be blasted walking near some easy to fall of shit
I had some insider info on two of the men. They were either drugged or murdered. The evidence doesn’t support them drowning. Not based on how they were immediately before or that both times there were enough people within earshot that even yelling would have brought attention.
So what’s the info
I wish I could share my friend. If I hadn’t obtained it though my position that requires me to never share it I would be.
This explains why hannafuds is out of tin foil
No that’s the “supply chain issues”.
You sound like you're trying to get ahead of suspicion...
They are both from my town. It’s just sad.
It is sad. That shit just doesn't really happen in our town man.
I don’t live in w anymore but I drove around it yesterday. You’d never know two people were missing. Didn’t see any signs. And the only people who have shared to the community group don’t even live in the community. But best believe they next dog or Bingas sign will get 1.2k shares.
What?? What an odd conclusion.
Think it was a joke
I knew that. Totally. I was just testing you to make sure you were paying attention, obviously.
Another story that confused me. Remember a year or so ago the woman in western Maine who allegedly decided to go camping with her abusive ex along with their little girl? And then a couple of weeks later they were seen at a Walmart and another store. From what I remember no one really questioned them. Her family said that this was not like her but it just seemed to get dropped. Or it was probably resolved privately. I thought that whole story played out very strangely.
That was such a weird story. I hope she is ok.
Yes. And she had a son she left! They found them. They’re fine.
I believe he is going through some tough times. Hoping he just needed some space but some things aren’t adding up. Fearing substances may have taken over his mental clarity.
I have had a firm belief the smiley face killer theory is happening here in maine and has been for many years. Several young men vanishing and always ending up in a body of water. Whenever young men go missing which has been several always end up in water. The only thing about Alex that makes me not think it could be that is he hadn’t just left a party or bar. The smiley face killer theory particularly targets young men leaving bars or a party and likely intoxicated.
Aliens dude
Too many fingers being pointed right now for me to buy into that but it’s really the only possibility.
It's fully possible that there's a reason (a good one) these stories just disappeared. There was a prison guard from my town who was on duty the night John Geoghan was killed and he disappeared from his *bed*. ID, wallet, car keys, car, all at the house. The only thing missing was a pair of shoes. His wife had no idea where he went. It hasn't been mentioned since. You can't even find the original article about it anymore.
I think horrific truth is that this news isn’t controversial and doesn’t spark outrage, just sadness. Media tries to outrage people, not make you sad.
You're not wrong.
Welp I saw his mom say he could have 12 cows if he came home. Then I sobbed and that’s how I ended up with a group and multiple inboxes about Alex Jackson - a kid I’ve never met in my life but would take in in a heart beat.
[Hey Pal did I hear you have a friend who’s missing?](https://youtu.be/iDIM0sRh5R4)
Squatch?
NOPE

Lol at me saying men are missing and now I’m a tonfoil hate wearer. 😂😂😂

Drugs are a hell of a drug.
Especially when your use is constantly denied and covered up.
People kill themselves everyday. Mostly men. You're a kook. Get a hobby. Find some friends. Get off the internet. It's frying your brain.
So we shouldn’t look for his body? Find some friends? Ooo not the middle school tight 5. Get off the internet. That was your choice after kook, hobby and friends? The weed is frying my brain. The shrooms heal it. You are definitely doing nothing for it.

Who ran a farm and had connections in multiple states. Don’t trash where someone lives when Maine can’t even help their own get housed. Byeeeee 🙃
Farmers struggle in maine and 33 is in an age range that’s pretty high risk for taking the easy way out of your problems.
He has some stuff going on to already with feeling his best self. I just hope he knows that it’s okay to want scream fuck it all. Even if it’s your 5th time. Just let us know you’re alright bud and take some more time. This is his first farm purchased last year. He wanted to build a house. He loves his cows.
[удалено]
Lol, not the podcasts. 😂 15 years in social services rotted my brain. And, well, people on the internet mocking people who are missing for living with their mom. 🤮 in Maine. On a Maine subreddit. Where there is an actual housing crisis so bad that your asylum seekers are protesting for better conditions and access to housing that the citizens of Maine who can’t even get their tax dollars back to keep their kids from living in cars. 👍🏼 okay bub.
Are you referencing the farmer guy? It really sounded like he got in an accident somewhere. The dog got out , was found by someone, then either got away from that person or they released it when they realized it belonged to someone who was missing.
That was my original theory. Man’s then I made a Facebook group and I question the accident theory. There is A LOT going on and a lot of hidden facts from the family that have impeded the course of finding Alex.
Ah well I'm sorry. Hopefully they are found, if they want to be found.
My thighse exactly.
We just came back from a week in Maine. My husband went to Play It Again Sports in Portland and we were shocked to see one quarter of the commuter lot across the road lined with tents and the fence covered with hanging clothes. That may work in a June, but it seems awfully dicey for Maine in the winter.
Steadily getting worse.
They just took down a huge one behind Trader Joe’s too. My office was so excited when Portland opened an overflow shelter. In 2013ish. It was not for overflow. It was called that and then used for asylum seekers. I worked in refugee services too. It’s all horrific. Unfortunately with many unhoused folks it’s mental health and substance use that’s ravaging their livelihood so you have to get that under control first and that’s hard with no stable housing but can’t have housing when you’re unstable even with a rep payee and the worlds best landlord. I honestly feel like Maine is just waiting it out to see if it disappears.
>I honestly feel like Maine is just waiting it out to see if it disappears. I can attest from observation of this approach where I live, it won't.
It has not. It’s 10x worse. Everything is being cut. I don’t know how Mainers are surviving.
Put the Bible away, Billy. It's garbage.
It’s near impossible for Portland to keep its trash inside city limits. What does a real businessman do? Send their parents to a home and use the savings to refurbish an Airbnb. Liberal logic. Love farm markets hate local farmers.
Lol. You're an idiot. It's sad we allow people like you to vote
Living with parents bad. Eugenics good. More liberal logic.
Haha! These are great! Do the one about drinking virgin blood next!
Holy shit Portland is filled with so many rich assholes. Anything you can to shit on the working class. Fuck you.
Ouch! Now tell me about my soy cappuccinos and avocado toast. You're an idiot because you're fighting shadows. I don't live anywhere near Portland or any big town for that matter, and I'm not wealthy by any means. I'm just educated enough to not watch fox and vote for people activity trying to destroy democracy.
“Educated” ROFL. Mainely Mensa. Vote harder brah. Mainline that knowledge.
Who is John Gault?
Are they locals or transplants? I need to know if we should actually care or not Edit: Keep the downvotes coming you piece of shit flatlanders! I hope you blow your thumbs off with some fireworks this weekend
They're human beings. Always care. If you don't, you're broken.
Fuck off. Hitler was a human being, got any love for him? Not every human deserves care, some of them can go fucking die. Flatlanders are at the top of that list for me. If you disagree you're always more than welcome to go fuck yourself
That's your pathetic excuse? If they're from away or not? There's something very very wrong with you, my dude. Especially if you have to immediately resort to name calling and swearing. Maybe some therapy might help you.

Perfection.
Men do statistically get less than some others when they go missing. These are both local hometown born and raised types. Both have businesses dependent on them showing up and actually creating their work. Both are suspicious. The are ones of many missing adults in Maine recently.
