Blaine Hector, 30, was last seen on December 24, 2001, at his father’s home in Cornish, New Hampshire. That day he had brought a used Saab from a dealership to show his father; the dealership later reported the vehicle stolen and police came to the house. When officers arrived, Blaine ran into the woods behind the property and was not seen again despite searches using multiple police departments, helicopters, and search dogs.

Blaine had been struggling with depression after his brother Wade Hector died in a truck accident during the Gulf War in 1991. At the time he disappeared he was married with two children; after years of no contact his wife divorced him for abandonment. His father died in 2004 without learning what happened, and police even staked out the funeral hoping Blaine would appear.

There has been no financial or social trace of Blaine since he vanished. The family believes he might be living off the grid or in another country such as Canada, but an outstanding warrant for his arrest remains. What information might help clarify whether Blaine left voluntarily or met with foul play? Are there anyone who knew his routines or contacts around December 2001 who can help?
