Stephen Anthony Wines, 27, was last seen on May 12, 2017, on the Androscoggin River in the Cumberland and Brunswick area of Maine. He and his older brother, William Wines, were in a small boat near Bay Bridge Landing in the stretch of river between Bay Bridge Landing and Mustard Island when Stephen reportedly passed out while standing and fell overboard. Witnesses on shore saw the brothers in the water and a 911 call came in about 8:40 to 8:44 p.m.

William jumped in and tried to save Stephen; he was later rescued, treated for possible hypothermia at Mid Coast Hospital, and released. Rescue resources from multiple agencies searched by boat, air, and dive team. The boat was recovered and life jackets were found aboard, but reports said neither man was wearing one. River conditions — fast current, a temperature near 54 degrees, and tidal changes — complicated the search, which was suspended when tide and weather conditions turned.

Stephen was described as White, 5 feet 8 inches, about 150 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes; he wore a black long-sleeved Harley Davidson shirt, blue jeans, boots, and a camouflage baseball cap. He left behind two young children. If anyone was on or near the Androscoggin that night or has information about Stephen, please come forward.
