Robert Long Identified; Maine Coast Body Found

The remains of Robert Long, missing from Miller Place since December 2010, have been identified after volunteer divers found his submerged PT Cruiser near the Cedar Beach boat ramp in Mount Sinai, Long Island. The vehicle was discovered on June 30, 2024, by Exploring with a Mission and Adventures with Purpose using sonar technology. Suffolk County police and medical examiners confirmed Long's identity, closing a 15-year-old missing persons case, though the cause of death has not been disclosed. Long was last seen leaving home without his insulin or phone and was listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs). In a separate incident, an unidentified body was found in the ocean near the Maine-New Hampshire border, with both the identity and cause of death still unknown. Authorities report no public threat in either case and both investigations are ongoing.
