His family reported him missing after they had no contact with him for a year. Lohrey Kept to himself. They did not file a missing persons report earlier because Lohrey was a photographer and it was not unusual for him to leave the country for extended periods of time and take photographs. Lohrey's landlord said Lohrey moved out on July 15, 2007 and told the landlord he was moving to Maine. On August 25, 2007, the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department in Maine, discovered Lohrey's 1996 Pontiac Firebird in a parking lot off Route 96 in the Ocean Point area of East Boothbay and was towed away in October. Several of Lohrey's personal items were found in the car. A resident stated the car had been there for most of the summer.
