The police said that they would not provide divers for a search because of lack of funds. I wonder if they would react differently if it were Susan Collins' son who was missing? Surely, if there were foul play, the sooner they find the body, the more evidence they are likely to recover from it? This whole business is beginning to stink.


PORTLAND (NEWS CENTER) -- The Portland police department needs the public's help in searching for a man who has been missing for a week.

22-year old Ezra Milan was last seen out with his friends in the old port last Tuesday night.

Police say he and his buddies were drinking for a friend's birthday.

Just minutes before he went missing - police caught him at DiMillo's marina trespassing on someone else's boat. No charges were filed and he and his friends moved across the street to Bill's Pizza.

From there, neither the police nor Milan's friends seem to know what happened.

Police have been actively searching for Milan since Friday, when he was officially declared missing.

They say it is possible Milan fell into the water, though they haven't spotted him, and diving is one of their last options; for one, because that area is deep and murky, and another because they at this point they don't have the resources to dedicate to that.

At this point though, they remain hopeful Milan is still alive, just lost.

Family members say Milan hasn't missed a day of work at Dick's Sporting Goods in over three years... police are calling his disappearance suspicious.

Ezra Milan is described as a 6 foot 3, 180-pound black male. He has short black hair and brown eyes. Milan was last seen wearing a black Carhartt coat, blue jeans, and a white t-shirt.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Portland police
