Auburn police ask public to check surveillance footage in search for missing man

AUBURN — Police are asking the public to review surveillance and trail camera footage as they continue searching for 58-year-old Darren Cyr, who has been missing since shortly after 1 a.m. on Sunday, September 14.

Cyr was last believed to be in the area of Mill Street, and officials say he most likely left on foot. According to a statement from the Auburn Police Department, Cyr did not have any devices on him that could help track his location and police don’t have a clothing description. Police said there is no danger to the public.

Despite an extensive, multi-day search of the Mill Street area, involving drones, helicopters, dive teams, multiple K9 units, and officers from several agencies, Cyr remains missing. The search, which has now entered its third day, also covered wooded areas, bodies of water, and train tracks.

As of Thursday evening, police said they will begin scaling down physical search efforts, but continue to investigate actively.

“Without new information, we will be scaling down our search efforts, but we are not giving up,” the Auburn Police Department said in its statement. “We will continue to search in different ways and use every resource available to locate Mr. Cyr.”

Auburn police are now calling on the public to assist by reviewing any available home security, business surveillance, or trail camera footage captured after 1 a.m. Sunday morning.

In particular, hunters with trail cameras in the Route 20 area of Auburn are asked to review recordings for anyone matching Cyr’s description.

Cyr, who is 58 years old, is described as 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing approximately 190 pounds.

Anyone with information, images, or video that could assist with the investigation is urged to contact the Auburn Police Detective Bureau at (508) 832-7777.
