Jason D. Reil was 33 and living on Federal Street in Brunswick when he left his father Doug Reil’s home for a walk one morning in January 2012 and never returned. He is described as White, about 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet tall, roughly 185 to 200 pounds, with closely shaved brown hair, blue eyes, a goatee, a dragon tattoo on his left forearm, scars on both wrists, and a scar on his right eyebrow. He may not have had his eyeglasses and reportedly left his cell phone, keys, jacket, gloves, and possibly his wallet behind.
Family said Jason had stopped taking medication for schizophrenia in the days before he vanished and had become anxious, agitated, delusional, and unable to sleep. Searches by Brunswick police, Maine game wardens, and a tracking dog found no sign of him; investigators pursued tips and possible sightings and reported debit card activity at a Brunswick Rite Aid in mid-January that suggested he might have stayed in the area shortly after he disappeared. His family has maintained appeals and a reward while keeping his memory alive as an artist and poet.
Does anyone have information about Jason’s movements in Brunswick in January 2012 or recall seeing him around Route 1, Jordan Avenue, or the Occupy Portland area?
