Please help in finding Jeremy.

We're asking the public's help in finding our son, 28-year-old Jeremy Alex.

Jeremy disappeared in Northport, Maine on April 24, 2004. A woman who lives on Pound Hill Road in Northport spoke with him around 5:20 p.m. He was acting erratic and paranoid and she called police, but he ran into the woods before they could arrive.

Shortly after that a motorist saw Jeremy crossing Route 1. He has not been seen since. His van, with his keys and cell phone, were found abandoned in a small parking area off of Pound Hill Road in Northport.

Two searches, on April 27 and May 2, failed to turn up any trace of Jeremy. His family and friends, are asking for your help in locating him.

Perhaps you saw or heard something unusual on the night of April 24, 2004 that would help us find Jeremy.

Jeremy was born in Portsmouth, N.H. on April 8, 1976, the son of Ted Alex and Paula Caswell. He lived a good part of his life in Belfast, Maine. He is 5' 7" tall and weighs approximately 155 lbs. He has short-cropped brown hair and brown eyes. He works as a self-employed landscape gardener.

Jeremy visited his girlfriend the morning of April 24 and was moving items that day to their new home at Harbor Road in Northport. His van was found by police late Sunday, April 25. Police called Ted Alex, Jeremy's father, early Monday, April 26, after retrieving his number from Jeremy's cell phone records.

The Maine Warden Service, along with the Waldo County Sheriff's Department, conducted an extensive search of the immediate area on April 27. Dogs and GPS tracking were used, and there was an aerial search. The search went on for four full days. There was a follow-up search on May 2. No leads were found. Police have continued to follow up on any leads that are provided.
