VINALHAVEN, Maine — Divers with the Maine Game Warden Dive Team recovered the body of a missing Vinalhaven man in Folly Pond on Tuesday morning.
Owen Adair, 31, was reportedly last seen by his family on Thursday, a news release from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife said on Tuesday.
According to the release, Adair's family reported him missing on Monday after they found his ATV near Folly Pond. The family also found Adair's boots, as well as an aluminum canoe that held a few of his personal items along the Folly Pond shore, the release said.
