Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP39518)
Allen Thompson, a 38-year-old lobster fisherman from Stonington, Maine, was last seen on October 11, 1989. On that morning, he set out from the Stonington co-op for a routine day of lobster fishing. Later that day, Thompson's boat was discovered abandoned and circling off the coast. There was no sign of Thompson himself, and despite extensive searches, no further clues to his whereabouts were uncovered.

At the time of his disappearance, Thompson was described as standing 5'10", weighing around 170 pounds, with brown hair. His sudden disappearance has remained a mystery for decades, and his case is still unsolved. There have been no significant breakthroughs or updates that have led to resolving what happened to him that day on the waters off Stonington.

Thompson's case is among the numerous cold cases in Maine, many of which are marked by similarly puzzling disappearances. Despite efforts from both local authorities and the community, his disappearance remains an open case, with investigators and those close to him still hoping for answers. Maine has a long history of unsolved missing person cases, particularly involving people who vanish in coastal or rural areas like Stonington, where harsh weather and vast, rugged landscapes complicate searches.
