Austrian rider missing - Maine, US

Saw this post on ADV:

Yesterday at 8:45 PM

Sheriffs, wardens search for missing motorcyclist

The Austrian tourist was last seen north of Moosehead Lake.

The Associated Press


DOVER-FOXCROFT — The Piscataquis County Sheriff’s Department and Maine Warden Service are searching for an Austrian tourist who disappeared on an extended motorcycle trip.


Officials say 25-year-old Johannes Stummer was last seen on March 22 in Big Moose Township, north of Moosehead Lake. He was reported missing Friday after he failed to return to the Moose Mountain Inn in Greenville.
Investigator Allen Emerson of the sheriff’s department told the Bangor Daily News on Wednesday that Stummer rode his motorcycle throughout Europe last year and planned to tour the U.S. this year. He arrived on March 1 and traveled through Vermont and part of Canada.
He has been traveling on a black Suzuki motorcycle bearing an Austrian license plate. He’s described as 5-foot-9 and 120 pounds, with short blond hair.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
