Steven Robert Poitras, a 27-year-old scallop fisherman, went missing on November 1, 1980, while at sea off Swans Island, Maine. He was aboard a vessel called the *Sea Hunter* along with two other crew members when the boat began to take on water. The situation quickly turned dire, prompting a rescue operation. Although the other two crew members were successfully saved, Poitras was last seen submerging in the water and tragically did not resurface.
Despite search efforts, Steven's body was never recovered, leading to his classification as missing. The incident was marked as an unfortunate maritime tragedy, but Poitras remains listed as an endangered missing person. The details surrounding his disappearance have been difficult to fully clarify due to the lack of remains or further evidence, leaving a haunting mystery for his family and community.
The case is being handled by the Maine State Police and the Maine Marine Patrol, but with no new developments over the years, Poitras remains among Maine’s unresolved missing persons cases. His disappearance continues to be discussed in online forums by those who are trying to keep his memory alive and possibly uncover any new leads.
