Paul Doughty, 76, was last seen on the afternoon of August 18, 2021, after stopping at McKay’s Wild Blueberries in Pennfield. Security cameras captured him at the stand; the next day his family reported him missing when they could not contact him. He is five feet seven inches tall, about 100 pounds, with short grey hair and brown eyes. At the time he wore a black and white plaid button-up over a black t-shirt, blue jeans, grey sneakers and a camouflage baseball hat, and his family said he used an ostomy bag and could experience periods of mild confusion.

On September 1, 2021 a grey 2013 Buick Verano registered to him was found deep in the woods, about 10 kilometres from the blueberry stand, snagged on a stump down old logging roads. The blueberry pie he had just bought remained untouched in the backseat. RCMP, search and rescue and volunteers conducted ground and air searches but no sign of Paul was located. The RCMP have said they do not believe foul play was involved; his family questions how he could have driven those rough logging roads and then disappeared.

If anyone was in the Pennfield or Musquash area on August 18 or remembers seeing Paul’s car along the logging roads afterward, please share what you know.
