20 Years After a Boston Man Disappeared in Maine, Police Have Identified Suspects
Police have grainy security images and one surviving suspect as they investigate the disappearance of Miguel Oliveras, whose body has never been found.
- On September 2, 2026, the Portland Police Department announced progress in the 20-year-old disappearance of Miguel Oliveras, with Police Lieutenant Nicholas Goodman stating investigators are "getting closer by the day" to locating remains.
- Oliveras was last seen leaving the Platinum Plus Club at 200 Riverside St. in Portland on September 2, 2006; police do not believe a prior altercation at the club "had anything to do with his disappearance."
- Investigators have identified three persons of interest, including one surviving suspect who has retained legal counsel, and Goodman noted authorities are analyzing text messages and surveillance footage to narrow the final week of Oliveras's life.
- The FBI increased the reward for information leading to Oliveras's whereabouts to $25,000 in March, following a surge in tips, while his mother, Myrna Gonzalez, recently traveled to Maine to plead for information.
- Police are coordinating with anthropologists and plan to utilize advanced equipment like ground-penetrating radar for upcoming searches, as Goodman emphasized authorities will not stop until they find Oliveras and bring him home.
