Concerned for his safety, the sheriff’s office notified the Maine Warden Service, Maine Search and Rescue, as well as canine units from local police departments.

The search was suspended Sunday night but will resume Monday morning.

“We are very concerned for the well-being of Mr. Berrett,” Merry said. “While there is nothing suspicious, we are worried about his lack of contact with family and friends at this time.”
