Christopher Whitaker
Matinicus Island, ME

On 10/27/2008 Chris went out lobster fishing in his open hull 21 foot boat from Matinicus Island in the Penobscot Bay. On that day around 2pm a fellow fisherman called his father and asked him to come down to the dock to look at some items he had found in the water. The father recognized those items as belonging to Chris. Numerous groups were involved in a search for him but Chris, nor his boat, were ever located.
