Author: Locating the Lost January 22, 2026 Duration: 53:15

On a spring morning in May 1977, 18-year-old Bernard "Bunny" Ross Jr. walked out of his family home in Fort Kent, Maine, and vanished into the vast wilderness of the North Woods. After a series of distressed events—including a brief truck theft that was later forgiven—Bunny's trail went cold on a remote dirt road near the Ashland-Portage town line.For nearly 50 years, the Ross family has lived in the "agony of the unknown," waiting for a knock on the door that never came. The case took a stunning turn in 2016 when his parents received a mysterious anonymous letter claiming to have definitive information about their son’s whereabouts. But who sent it, and why now?In this episode, we sit down with Patrick Ross, Bunny’s brother, to discuss:The Final Hours: The events leading up to Bunny’s disappearance and his state of mind on May 12, 1977.The Search: What it was like for a family in rural Maine to search for a loved one before the era of modern forensics.The Letter: The family's reaction to the anonymous tip that reignited the Maine State Police investigation.A Brother's Perspective: Patrick shares personal memories of "Bunny" and the reality of living with a decades-old cold case.Case Details: Missing Since May 12, 1977LocationAshland/Portage, MaineLast Seen Wearing Green down vest, gold chamois shirt, brown corduroy pantsDistinguishing Marks: Scar on abdomen, chicken pox marks on noseHave information?

There are names that linger in the air of a town long after the news vans have left, and stories that exist only in the fragmented memories of those left waiting. Locating the Lost sits with those stories. This isn't a procedural rundown of cold cases, but a deliberate effort to recenter the human beings at the heart of every disappearance. Each episode focuses on a single person who has vanished, weaving together the details of their life, the circumstances of their last known moments, and the enduring impact of their absence on family and community. You'll hear the subtle tensions in a detective's voice, the raw hope in a sibling's recollection, and the heavy silence that follows an unanswered question. The goal here isn't sensationalism, but preservation-giving auditory space to narratives that risk fading from public consciousness. By tuning into this podcast, you become a witness to these searches, understanding that every case file represents a world upended. It's a sobering, necessary listen for anyone who believes that forgetting is a second disappearance.
