JAY, Maine —
A Maine man who has been searching for his missing daughter for nearly 40 years found human remains with the help of a psychic, but they were not those of his daughter.
Dick Moreau said he discovered the remains Saturday in a wooded area of Jay, Maine, behind what was once a bowling alley.
“(The psychic) had a very strong feeling that there was something up there, but she wasn’t sure what it was,” Moreau said. “Then in about 10 minutes, she turned around, she came down and said: ‘Dick, you’ve got to get up here now!'”
Jay is around 70 miles from Portland, Maine, and around 31 miles from Lewiston, Maine.
Maine State Police investigators were called to the scene, and the remains were recovered and taken to the office of the chief medical examiner for identification.
Moreau later learned the remains were those of a male and not those of his daughter, Kim Moreau.
“Yes, it’s a disappointment in some ways, but we’ve got to remember and look at it from our point of view. We’re one of the families that has a missing loved one. We will have a family that’s going to get closure now,” Moreau said. “So it isn’t us, but one of these times, it’s got to be.”
Kim Moreau went missing in May 1986 after leaving her family home on Jewell Street, saying she was going out for an hour. She was never seen again. The site where Dick Moreau found the remains is one street over and up a hill from the family’s home.
Around the same time, Harold Simpson, a 28-year-old from Livermore Falls, also went missing. He was last seen fishing with a friend in August 1986, three months after Kim disappeared.
Police have not made any connection between Simpson and the remains that were found.
For Dick Moreau, the search for Kim Moreau continues.
“All we want is to get Kim home, give her a proper burial and let me take down all these posters so my family and myself will finally get some relief,” he said.
Moreau plans to ask police to return to the area with search dogs, hoping that if one set of remains was found, there might be more. He remains determined to find his daughter.
