John Miller was last seen in Tenants Harbor, Maine, on May 1, 1975. John and his business partner, Michael Percy, were on their way back from Stockton Springs in a lobster boat John just bought. Their parents suspect the boat overheated. Its hatch cover was off when it was found the next day, anchored in the bay. The skiff was found upside down the next day in Belfast. The men were never found.
The water was 40 degrees that day, suggesting hypothermia as a cause of death. The weather was clear and calm and the bay was flat. The Coast Guard issued a report saying the pair were lost at sea. The original police file was lost over the years.
