Thomas Waite Gerry, 36, was last known in the Turner, Maine area on October 18, 1987. He was the pilot of a Cessna 172 seaplane that departed Auburn, Maine, bound for Nova Scotia but never arrived at its destination.

Gerry was described as about 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall, 130 to 140 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. Identifying marks included a red birthmark on his left eyelid and a large scar on his left hand extending toward a ring finger. He was associated with a leather flight jacket, size 40, pants 30-30, and size 9 L.L. Bean hunting boots. The Cape Elizabeth Police Department is listed as the investigating agency.

The lack of located wreckage has left the route and final moments of the flight unresolved, with possible search areas spanning open water, coastline, islands, and remote inland terrain. Does anyone have information about Gerry, the flight, or unreported debris found in the Gulf of Maine or along Maine’s coast that could help close this case?
