Nicholas Jay Foster was 18 when he disappeared from the Winchester, New Hampshire area on March 5, 1998. He was last seen near an old railroad trestle; a friend reportedly left him there and got a ride with someone else. A few days later Foster’s wallet, lighter, cigarettes and jacket were found by the tracks across from the entrance to Thicket Hill in Hinsdale, about seven miles from the trestle where he was last seen.

At the time he was living with his parents and working at Cersosimo Lumber in Brattleboro, Vermont. He had been saving to move closer to work and had not indicated a desire to leave the local area. Foster had a history of drug abuse, including LSD, and had relapsed after completing rehabilitation. The circumstances and the abandoned belongings prompted authorities to consider the possibility of suicide, but no body has been recovered and the case remains unsolved and listed as endangered missing.

Did anyone in the area around Winchester or Hinsdale have contact with Nicholas in early March 1998 or recall seeing him near the trestle or Thicket Hill?
