Philip King Letarte was last known to be in Woodland, Aroostook County, Maine, on June 2, 1986. He left the Tibbetts Road residence of Robert Ericson at about 3:00 p.m., saying he was going to Gary’s Exxon in New Sweden to buy cigarettes — a walk of roughly 3.5 miles.

The Maine State Police report a sighting the next day, June 3, of a man matching Letarte’s description standing on Colby Road; some later accounts place that sighting on Colby Siding Road or on June 6, and one description says the man appeared feeble and confused. At the time he disappeared he was reportedly wearing a dark blue sweater, a dark shirt, and blue jeans; his records list brown hair, brown eyes, about 5 feet 11 inches and 165 pounds. No confirmed public trace of him has been reported since.

Does anyone have memories, photographs, or information from Woodland, New Sweden, Tibbetts Road, Gary’s Exxon, Colby Road, or Colby Siding Road from early June 1986 that could help fill the gaps in his movements or that sighting?
