Michael Percy was 22 when he vanished from a lobster boat off Tenants Harbor, Maine, on May 1, 1975. He and his business partner, Judd Miller, were returning from Stockton Springs after Miller bought the vessel. The following day the boat was found anchored with the hatch cover removed, suggesting possible overheating; the partners’ skiff was later discovered overturned and both men were missing.

The Coast Guard concluded the most likely outcome was loss at sea. Water temperature that day was about 40 degrees Fahrenheit, a condition that can produce rapid hypothermia; fishermen thought any bodies might have sunk into deep parts of the bay. Neither Percy nor Miller was ever recovered, the original police files were lost, and no new evidence has emerged. It is unknown whether one man fell overboard and the other tried to help, or whether both were disabled while in the skiff.

Did anyone who fished or worked the Tenants Harbor–Stockton Springs area in 1975 see anything that might shed light on what happened that day?
