Richard Salman was 66 and last known to have contact on June 23, 2017, in Prospect, Maine, a small Waldo County community on the Penobscot River.

A troubling scene developed that morning on the Penobscot Narrows Bridge between Prospect and Verona Island. A vehicle later linked to Salman, a silver and black 2005 Saab 92 bearing Maine vanity plate ZYGOTE, was found on the bridge with the engine left running. Reports say the car was seen in the early hours (one account around 3:30 a.m.), the Maine Marine Patrol was contacted about 6 a.m., and searchers were on the river by about 7 a.m. A walking stick belonging to Salman was found resting on the bridge barrier facing the water.

If anyone knew Richard, saw his Saab, or has information about his movements near the Penobscot Narrows Bridge on June 23, 2017, please come forward.
