Lorne Rusty Casey, 45, was last seen on April 25, 2015, in South Lawrence, Massachusetts, reportedly walking on Route 28 toward his home. He was wearing jeans, a dark hoodie, and sneakers. Distinctive features included a small boil on his face and a small cross tattoo on his left forearm. His family reported him missing to the Lawrence Police Department on April 27, 2015.

For years the case produced few leads and remained cold. On February 21, 2022, a person walking a dog in a wooded area in Andover — roughly four miles south of Lawrence — found what appeared to be human remains. The Essex District Attorney’s Office confirmed the remains included a skull and jaw; a wider search turned up additional remains. In March 2022 the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner positively identified the remains as those of Lorne Casey. The investigation into the circumstances of his death remains active and unresolved.

If anyone knew Lorne’s routines, who he might have been with around April 25, 2015, or saw something in the Route 28 or Andover areas, please come forward with information.
