I wasn't going to add this because I figured he'd turn up, but he has not as of this morning---still missing.

Howland - State police are looking for a man from Freeport who's been missing since Saturday.
Police say 24-year-old Dean Levasseur was last seen in Howland at the outdoor "Chickenfest" party, which is a secretive event put on by Umaine students.
Police say Levasseur arrived with a carload of friends at the party in the woods, but they lost track of him during the evening.
Levasseur was supposed to playing with his band, but the Freeport police chief says he disappeared before the 11 p.m. performance.
State police and game wardens used a canine to search the area for Levasseur Monday but couldn't send up a search plane because of the weather.
We're told Levasseur's cell phone last tried to connect to a tower in Lagrange but is now either turned off or the battery had died.
He's described as 5' 6", 145 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes.
Levasseur was last seen wearing a green sweatshirt and blue jeans.
Anyone who knows where Levasseur is or has been in contact with him since Saturday is asked to call State Police at 866-2121.

Fiske described Chickenfest as a mini-Woodstock for college-age people.
“They had bands out there playing. It’s just a big party,” he said. “There [were] cars from all over — New York, Canada.”
In recent years, Chickenfest has been held in LaGrange, Argyle and just outside Greenfield, Fiske said.
Fiske, Penobscot County Deputy Chief Troy Morton and five others from Penobscot County were at Chickenfest on Saturday night trying to stop the influx of students heading into the party, which was located on private land owned by a logging company.
Morton, who after leaving the party scene got into a crash with a moose that sent the deputy chief to the hospital with a concussion, charged at least one person with underage drinking, Fiske said. The total number of people charged by Penobscot County sheriff’s deputies was not available on Monday.
“There were probably several hundred folks already there [by the time police arrived],” the trooper said. “We did the best we could from that point” stopping cars heading down the property’s dirt driveway.
To get around the law, attendees “ended up parking elsewhere and hiking through the woods to get there,” Fiske said.
The college-age attendees brought beer, wine and alcohol and left a pile of litter in the woods in their wake, the trooper said, noting that Sunday was Earth Day.
“It seems like everything they carried in got left behind — tents, tarps, broken glass,” Fiske said.
After Chickenfest ended, state police learned from Freeport police that Levasseur was missing.
The Maine Warden Service was first tasked with searching for the missing man and state police assisted by providing a search dog, Fiske said.
“When the weather clears and if he is still not located, the plane will be used as well,” the trooper said.

Body of missing Maine musician found
By Nick Sambides Jr. and Nok-Noi Ricker / Bangor Daily News, Maine
Wednesday, April 25, 2012
::snipping2::
HOWLAND, Maine --
Searchers found a body tentatively identified as that of missing Freeport resident Dean Levasseur shortly after 10 a.m. Wednesday in thick woods several hundred yards west of the makeshift stage the 24-year-old musician was to perform on nearly four days ago, authorities said.
Speaking at a press conference in a lot off Lagrange Road near Interstate 95’s Exit 217, Maine Warden Service Lt. Kevin Adam and Maine State Police Detective Sgt. John Cote could not yet offer any insights into the cause or manner of Levasseur’s death. Nor could they say much about the circumstances leading to his disappearance early Sunday.
::snipping2::
Another family member, Nathan Oliver, the husband of Levasseur’s sister, Deirdra Levasseur Oliver, earlier posted on the Facebook page set up for searchers that those heading to the area to help no longer were needed.
"If you have made plans to travel to help the search for Dean, please do not come. Dean has been found and is deceased," Levasseur’s brother-in-law posted just before 11 a.m. Wednesday. "We have no more information about this at this time."
"From the deepest bottom of our hearts, thank you. Thank all of you for your unflinching and strong support. Thank you to the people who have helped in the effort to locate our very beloved Dean."
With the discovery of the body, the investigation shifts from the Maine Warden Service to state police, Cote said. An autopsy is expected within the next few days.

I had hoped for a different outcome in the disappearance of this young man. I'm moving this to "Missing Found Deceased".

Police: Freeport man shot himself at Chickenfest in Howland
Last modified April 26, 2012, at 9:05 p.m.
HOWLAND, Maine — The guitar player from Freeport who went missing after attending Chickenfest last weekend took his own life, the Maine State Police said Thursday.
::snipping2::
“Dean Levasseur died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head,” Stephen McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety, said in a statement Thursday afternoon. “A handgun Levasseur had purchased earlier in the month was found with his body.”
The band played at Kingman’s bar in Old Town on Friday night, said University of Maine student Hugh Valaitis of Waldoboro, a drummer for the band. He was one of the 150 or so family members, friends and volunteers who showed up to search for Levasseur on Tuesday and Wednesday.
About an hour after arriving at Chickenfest, Levasseur’s bandmates took the stage at about 11:30 p.m. Saturday and called for Levasseur to come play his guitar, but he never showed.
::snipping2::
“State Police detectives say their investigation indicates that Levasseur likely shot himself about 1:30 Sunday morning, about a quarter mile from the stage area of the outdoor gathering that he was scheduled to play his guitar at,” McCausland said in the statement. ::snipping2::
Levasseur sent a text message at around 1:30 a.m. Sunday and that was the last message he ever made, the sergeant said.
State police detectives believe Levasseur likely shot himself shortly afterward.
The state of Maine’s suicide hotline referral number is 888-568-1112.

Thank you Nut for both Maine articles. I'm so sorry this man couldn't find a reason to live! He was obv talented and in school but I know sometimes you just can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. I would like to know his last message and he was so close to all the people but no one found him. I've grown up semi small townish but we partied in the woods all the time and us girls always had to walk way far away to go potty so how he wasn't stumbled upon Idk!
