Missing Since: 2018-12-05 Location: Somersworth, New Hampshire
Sanford was last seen in Somersworth, New Hampshire on December 5, 2018. He had spent the previous night at a house on Market Street. He between 6:00 and 7:00 p.m. left to get cigarettes at either the Borderline Beverage store or the Stateline Mini Mart, and never returned. He later called the mother of his four-year-old son and told her he had taken an accidental drug overdose and had had to be revived with Narcan. This is the last time anyone heard from him. Three days later, his wallet was found in someone’s yard half a mile away. It contained only a medical identification card belonging to his son’s mother. In September 2019, graffiti appeared in public parks and bus stops throughout the Tri-Cities area of New Hampshire, claiming Sanford had been murdered by three specific men. That same month, federal authorities searched a residence in the 100 block of Franklin Street in Somersworth, after getting a tip that Sanford was there. The search turned up nothing, however. Shortly before he disappeared, Sanford completed a thirty-day drug rehabilitation program. His family believes he is deceased and that his disappearance is drug-related. They stated he was high-functioning in spite of his addiction, kept in regular touch with his son and wouldn’t have abandoned him. He ran a profitable carpet-installation business at the time of his disappearance. His case remains unsolved.
