Robert David Schultze, 63, vanished from the seacoast between Maine and New Hampshire on September 3, 2010, after going out fishing in his 20-foot Aquasport boat, The Cat’s Meow. NamUs lists his last known contact as that date and identifies the Maine Marine Patrol as the investigating agency. He is described as White, about 6 feet 5 inches to 6 feet 6 inches tall, 210 to 220 pounds, with gray or partly gray hair, brown eyes, and scars from hip surgery.

The Cat’s Meow was later found anchored and unmanned in the Piscataqua River between Kittery, Maine, and Portsmouth, New Hampshire, with Robert’s personal possessions still aboard. The Coast Guard conducted searches for three days and nights without finding him. Family memorial notices characterize him as lost at sea, and NamUs maintains his case file as MP53234.

A number of core facts are clear, but the circumstances of his disappearance remain unexplained. Anyone who was on the water or saw The Cat’s Meow around Portsmouth Harbor on September 3, 2010, is asked to come forward with information.
