Jeremy Alex, 28, disappeared from Northport, Maine on April 24, 2004, after a day of increasingly paranoid and erratic behavior. Living in Lincolnville and in the process of moving with his girlfriend, he told others that bad guys were after him and was last seen running through woods near Pound Hill Road, disoriented and frightened. Witnesses said he ran away from people offering help, and his girlfriend later reported he had used drugs earlier that day.

Jeremy’s van was found the next day in a parking lot near the Waldo County Humane Society with his keys and cell phone inside. Extensive air and land searches, including K-9 teams, produced no significant clues. There were scattered possible sightings in the months after his disappearance, and his driver’s license washed ashore near a nearby construction site about four years later, but nothing led to a conclusive discovery.

Jeremy struggled with substance abuse, and the combination of drugs and his disoriented state is thought to have played a role. Authorities have not ruled out foul play, yet no direct evidence has emerged and the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Jeremy, saw him that day, or has information about the woods near Pound Hill Road, please come forward.
