Nicholas Washburn, 26, of Claremont, New Hampshire, disappeared the evening of April 10, 2015 after a domestic violence incident. Police were called to a Block Avenue residence at about 9:00 p.m., but Washburn, described as a suspect in that assault, had already left. He was last seen wearing a red shirt, black pants or shorts, and red and black shoes, and had pierced ears and a scar on his chin.

Shortly after he left, Washburn’s 2007 Ford Fusion crashed into the guardrails of the Main Street Bridge over the Connecticut River linking Claremont and Ascutney, Vermont. Authorities said the crash appeared intentional. The totaled car still contained his wallet and three cell phones, yet no driver was found and no witnesses reported seeing anyone run from the scene. His mother, Joann Davis, later said she was on the phone with him at the moment of the crash and that he sounded panicked.

Searches by family, friends and New Hampshire Fish and Game around the river turned up no sign of him. The Claremont Police Department investigated, had active arrest warrants for Washburn tied to that night, and received tips from other states that proved unproductive. A $500 reward was offered by family and friends. The case remains unsolved and active.

Did anyone in the Claremont or Ascutney area see Washburn on the night of April 10, 2015 or have information about the bridge crash?
