A mysterious disappearance of a Waldoboro man has an investigatory website speculating about a possible connection to a huge kidnapping/assault/drug bust in the town earlier this month.
But followers of Mysteries in Maine say Darryl Sanborn wasn’t into pharmaceuticals and wouldn’t have fraternized with the hard-core element.
“Now believed to be deceased,” the Mysteries Facebook page claims, citing likely “foul play.”
A local store employee “states Darryl expressed fear for his life right before going missing,” the page administrator said.
“He literally came into my store before he went missing and was telling me how he was worried for his life and that he was being targeted,” the employee was quoted.
The page administrator said that scenario “aligns with other comments from his son that he feared something terrible may have happened to his Dad.”
Sanborn’s followers fear cops “will just classify it as an overdose, even though he didn’t do drugs like that,” the page says.
Sanborn, last seen in Waldoboro on April 4 or 5, often went back and forth between Waldoboro and Thomaston, where he has family connections including Dorman’s Dairy which he, his son and former wife have operated.
Sanborn and Julie Anne Sanborn of Thomaston were divorced in June 2022 after being married more than three decades. Her grandfather Kenneth Dorman opened Dorman’s in 1951.
Waldoboro Police put out a public plea for informants with any information on Sanborn’s whereabouts or fate to call 207-832-4500.
“Check cameras at Archie’s,” suggested Mikki Thompson on Facebook. “I saw him about a month ago with a young man and a gal.”
“Every day that passes without a sighting increases the concern for his safety,” posted Mainely Kate on the Facebook page Locating the Lost.
“Police are following all leads and urge anyone who may have seen him in the midcoast area to come forward immediately,” Kate added.
