Roger P. Dupuis was 39 years old when he disappeared from Biddeford, Maine, a city in York County along the Saco River. Public missing-person records describe him as a White/Caucasian man with brown hair and blue eyes, about 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing approximately 200 pounds. He was last known to have contact in early December 1995, with NamUs listing his date of last contact as December 4, 1995.
The case is recorded under NamUs MP36368 and is associated with the Biddeford Police Department.
The known account of Roger’s final movements is sparse, but it forms a quiet and troubling timeline. A friend reportedly last saw him on December 3, 1995. After that, he was believed to have been at Bob’s Exxon, where he bought a pint of alcohol, and he also reportedly purchased a month-long membership at a local tanning salon shortly afterward. Public case summaries note that Roger suffered from alcoholism, an important part of the context investigators and loved ones had to consider, not as a judgment on him, but as one of the circumstances that may have affected where he went and how vulnerable he may have been at the time he vanished.
Roger was known to spend time near the river’s edge, and he reportedly used the bridge over the river to travel between Biddeford and neighboring Saco. That detail has remained one of the more significant pieces of the public narrative because it places him in areas near water and along a route he was familiar with. The case information does not publicly describe a confirmed destination, a confirmed sighting after those final known activities, or an explanation for why he did not return. What remains is a portrait of a man whose ordinary habits suddenly became part of a much larger mystery.
At the time he went missing, Roger may have been wearing blue jeans, an extra-large Mexican blanket jacket, and tan work boots. He was also associated with several pieces of jewelry: a black horn on a gold chain, a silver arrowhead on black rawhide, and a silver-and-black eagle on black rawhide. These details matter because clothing and jewelry can help distinguish a person in a missing-person investigation, especially when time has passed and memories fade. Public records also note that Roger had old rib fractures, skin psoriasis, and a scar on his forehead, identifying characteristics that could help connect him to later information or unidentified-person records.
The Biddeford Police Department is listed as the investigating agency, and Maine State Police notes that Maine’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner serves as the official state clearinghouse for missing people in Maine, using NamUs to help track and manage missing-person case files. Roger’s case has endured for decades with limited public detail, leaving those who knew him with unanswered questions about what happened after those early December days in 1995. In overview, Roger Dupuis was a 39-year-old Biddeford man last known to be in familiar local places, connected to a few final reported activities, known to spend time by the river and move between Biddeford and Saco, and still represented in public missing-person records through a case built from fragments of memory, identifying details, and the continuing hope that the truth of his disappearance can one day be known.Last Seen: Dec 4, 1995
