wcsh6 - A group of volunteers who normally search for signs of paranormal activity and unexplained phenomena are joining in the search for a woman missing since 1986.
Kimberly Ann Moreau went out with some friends on the night of May 9, 1986 and never returned home. Her family and police have spent the past 24 years searching for answers.
"There was a mention that she might have been thrown into the Androscoggin River at a location, so we are going to go down there because no one has searched the river," explained Harold Murray, the founder and lead investigator with the Bangor Ghost Hunters.
"Kim's case is the first case for Bangor Ghost Hunters being a missing persons. There are a lot of unanswered questions, a lot of unexplained things."
The group has met with Dick Moreau, Kim's father, numerous times over the past year. They have searched forests and fields in the area and followed leads developed by looking through information gathered by the family and investigators.
"I'm not saying we are going to go out there and we are going to find her," said Murray. "The odds of us finding her are pretty astronomical. We might come across something that might help Richard and his search."
"At this point we haven't been successful finding her anywhere else," said Dick Moreau. "Another set of eyes says how come nobody has ever looked down the river. We've gone through and says ok, what are the things that have not yet been done, and searching the river was one of them."
A group of about 20 volunteers from across the state will meet on Friday in Mexico to launch their canoes loaded with gear. They are hoping to search islands in the river throughout the weekend for any trace of Kimberly Ann Moreau.
"I'm a father. I have a daughter. I would be doing the same thing that Richard Moreau is doing, too," explained Murray. "He wants closure. If it was my little girl, I would be doing the same thing."
"There is a hope that we are going to come across something, somebody will finally speak, I mean how much longer can you hold it?" questioned Moreau. "We are going to be there until she comes home."
"If anybody does know what happened to Kim, if this was your daughter, wouldn't you want to know? Please come forward and give us the information," added Murray.
The group is welcoming more people to join their search and are looking for some logistical support for their effort, like places along the river to stop and recharge their gear. Contact the Bangor Ghost Hunters for inquiries or call 1-207-659-4053
