The Disappearance of Ludger Belanger (Maine)

MAINE MISSING PERSON, 1975: It was November 25, 1975 in Washington, Maine and Ludger Belanger stepped out into the freshly fallen snow, leaving deep boot prints as he disappeared into the woods in search of a buck. That was the last time his young wife Linda saw him, 46 years ago this year. But as the investigation revealed, it’s not the last time anyone saw him.

His name remains on the Maine Missing Persons list, but the details of Ludger Belanger’s disappearance point to much more than a man who walked into the woods and never walked out. Tracks in the snow tell stories that those involved won’t.

Linda Perkins continues the search for her husband and father of their three girls. She is on Dark Downeast to share his story.

This is Unsolved Missing Persons case of Ludger Belanger on Dark Downeast.
