Wiley Cosmo Davi, a 57-year-old professor at Bentley University, was last seen on the evening of November 15, 2025, on Peaks Island in Portland, Maine. A resident of the island, Davi was reportedly excited about her new home there. Her disappearance prompted an extensive multi-agency search of the island and its surrounding waters.
Davi is described as a white female, 5 feet 7 inches tall, and weighing approximately 155 pounds, with gray or partially gray hair and brown eyes.
She wears prescription glasses and has a linear scar on her abdomen. When she went missing, it was noted that she might have been wearing a wet suit, and she wears a size 9 shoe. The Portland Police Department is the primary investigating agency for this case.
Multiple agencies were involved in the comprehensive search for Wiley Davi, including the Portland Police Department, the Maine Warden Service, and the Maine Marine Patrol. The search efforts covered the walking trails, wooded areas, and the waters around Peaks Island. Authorities requested that the public stay off the walking trails to avoid interfering with the search. Residents of Peaks Island were also asked to check their sheds and any outbuildings on their properties. After days of searching by land and sea, the official, multi-agency search was suspended.
Wiley Davi is a longtime and respected professor of English and Media Studies at Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts, where she has been a faculty member for over 25 years. The university issued a statement describing her as a "beloved member of our community" and a friend to students and staff. Investigators have stated that at this time, there is no evidence of foul play in her disappearance. The investigation into her whereabouts remains open, and the Portland Police Department continues to ask anyone with information to contact them.Last Seen: Nov 15, 2025
