Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP23790) and 14 other sources
Dane Breier Angelich was in his mid-thirties when he disappeared from Portland, Maine, on October 7, 2013. Public missing-person listings identify him as a white male with brown eyes and brown or graying-brown hair, standing about 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet tall and weighing roughly 180 to 205 pounds. He was known by the alias Lauren Reardon Breier, and the physical details released for identification include numerous small scars on his body, a curved scar on his left wrist, and no known tattoos. At the time he was last known to be in contact with others, he was reportedly living homeless or on the street in Cumberland County, a circumstance that can make a person especially vulnerable and can also make later tracing of movements far more difficult.

The clearest public account of Dane’s last known location places him near the Preble Street Resource Center at 5 Portland Street in Portland. Portland police and local reporting have said he was last seen at approximately 3:30 p.m. on October 7, 2013, in that area. The resource center was a significant point of contact for people experiencing homelessness, and Dane’s presence there fits with the limited details released about his circumstances at the time. After that afternoon, public records and missing-person summaries state that he was not heard from again, and no detailed public timeline has been released describing where he may have gone immediately afterward.

As the years passed, Dane’s case remained open in public missing-person databases and in Portland Police Department materials. The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System lists him under NamUs case MP23790, with his date of last contact recorded as October 7, 2013, and his missing location as Portland, Maine. The Charley Project similarly summarizes the case as one with few publicly available details, noting that Dane was homeless and living on the streets when he disappeared. These brief entries leave many unanswered questions, but they also preserve the identifying information that could matter if someone remembers seeing him, encountered him after he left the Preble Street area, or has knowledge that did not seem important at the time.

In October 2023, around the tenth anniversary of Dane’s disappearance, Portland police again asked the public for help. Local news outlets reported that investigators were seeking information from anyone who might know something about what happened to him after he was last seen near the Preble Street Resource Center. Police provided public contact options for tips, including the Portland Police Department’s main number and an anonymous tip line, underscoring that even a small memory or overlooked detail could still be meaningful years later.

Dane Angelich’s disappearance is a case marked by a very small public record and a long absence. He was last known to be in Portland, near a place that served people in need, and he was living in circumstances that may have made it difficult for family, friends, service providers, or investigators to maintain contact with him. The known facts are stark: Dane Breier Angelich, a man in his mid-thirties with brown eyes, brown or graying-brown hair, noticeable scars including one on his left wrist, and a possible alias of Lauren Reardon Breier, was last seen near the Preble Street Resource Center in Portland, Maine, on the afternoon of October 7, 2013, and the public record does not show a confirmed resolution. The overview of the case is that Dane vanished from Portland while experiencing homelessness, few details have been publicly released, and authorities have continued to seek information that could explain where he went and what happened after his last known sighting.
