Seabrook NH security officer disappearance remains a mystery after 18 years
SEABROOK, N.H. —July 6 2018
A security guard for a Seabrook company has not been seen since he disappeared during his shift on a July night in 2000.
Curtis Pishon, 40, was working as a security guard for Venture Corporation in Seabrook when he disappeared during the early-morning hours of July 5, 2000.
Shortly before he went missing, Pishon’s car caught fire.
“A few things happened that night,” Chief Michael Gallagher said. “One was that Mr. Pishon’s car was caught on fire. No. 2, which we discovered later, was that there were vending machines and a change machine that was broken into using a forklift that was on the property.”
At about 3:20 a.m. July 5, Pishon’s supervisor checked on him at his guard shack.
“Around 3:45, it was noticed that he was missing from his position, and two cars were seen driving away at a high rate of speed leaving the factory,” Senior Assistant Attorney General Benjamin Agati said.
Pishon’s cigarettes, lighter and lunch were in his guard shack, and his apartment was untouched. His credit card and bank activity stopped.
At the time he went missing, Pishon was described as white, 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing 165 pounds. He had slightly graying brown hair, brown eyes and a mustache.
When he was last seen, Pishon was wearing a Reliable Security uniform, which is light blue over dark colors, and new boots.
Pishon served in the Army and was a retired police officer. He retired from the Concord Police Department after he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a diagnosis that crushed him, family members said.

“I think he was crushed,” his sister, Crystle Pishon, said. “I think he was lost. I think he was realizing that what he wanted to do he couldn’t do anymore, and he had no idea what else to do. So he was just lost.”
His body has never been found. The family had Pishon legally declared dead in 2008.
As of 2015, the family had offered a $10,000 reward for information that leads to the recovery of Pishon’s body and the arrest and conviction of anyone responsible for his death.
Authorities said the circumstances surrounding his disappearance suggest foul play was involved.
