Franklin Eugene Marston, known as Skip, was 32 when he vanished from Lewiston, Maine, on July 31, 1977. He’s described as White, brown-haired, blue-eyed, about 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall and 155 to 165 pounds, wore glasses and had a scar on the right side of his abdomen. When last documented he reportedly wore a white V-neck T-shirt, coverall jeans, and green combat boots.

Franklin left home intending to go to Rams Island to take photographs along the Androscoggin River. His vehicle was later found abandoned at the Center Bridge in Turner, shifting the focus of the disappearance to the Turner area. NamUs lists his case as MP55259 and the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office holds case number 77-3496. Few other public details have been released and his whereabouts remain unknown.

If anyone knew Franklin, spent time with him around Lewiston or the Androscoggin River, or saw a vehicle at Center Bridge on or after July 31, 1977, please share what is known.
