Milton Eldredge, 59, of Blandford, Massachusetts, was last seen on June 20, 2014, walking along Route 23 several miles from his Herrick Road home. He was reported missing on June 21, and early searches turned up no trace.

In November 2019 hunters found partial remains in a wooded area of the Knittle Conservation. The remains were later identified as Eldredge’s by dental records. His partner, Karen Buchinsky, said the discovery brought mixed feelings: she had suspected his fate, but confirmation was still painful. The cause of death has not been determined and the investigation remains open, with no current indication of foul play.

If anyone saw Milton along Route 23 in June 2014 or has other information about his movements that spring, please share what you know.
