Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP36916) and 12 other sources
Milton Eldredge, a 59-year-old man from Blandford, Massachusetts, was last seen on June 20, 2014, walking along Route 23, several miles from his home on Herrick Road. He was reported missing the next day by loved ones. Despite searches, no trace of him was found at the time.

Five years later, in November 2019, partial remains were discovered by hunters in a wooded area of the Knittle Conservation. These remains were later identified as belonging to Eldredge through dental records. While this provided some closure for his family, the cause of death remains undetermined, and the investigation continues.

Eldredge's partner, Karen Buchinsky, expressed mixed feelings about the discovery of his remains. Although she had suspected his fate, knowing for certain was still difficult for her and his family. The case remains open, as authorities continue to investigate, though there is no current indication of foul play.
