The Maine Warden Service is conducting a search for a missing Pennsylvania couple that went out snowmobiling on Thursday morning and did not return to their hotel in Moosehead Junction Township, north of Greenville.
The Maine Warden Service received the missing persons report at 7:30 a.m. today, March 23, 2009. Twelve Game Wardens and two MWS aircraft are searching for the couple, and a Maine Forestry Department helicopter is en route to assist.
The couple is from Pen Argyl, Pennsylvania. They planned to ride north and ride off trail, according to Lt. Pat Dorian of the Maine Warden Service.
Missing are:
Clifford Achenbach: 41 years old, 6-foot-2-inches, approximately 170 pounds, dark reddish hair, brown eyes.
Denise Achenbach: 42 years old, 5-foot-8-inches, approximately 140 pounds, brown hair, brown eyes.
They were riding a 2009 Polaris, red in color, and a 2007 Arctic Cat, green in color.
The couple checked into the Moose Mountain Inn on March 16, and planned on staying until Saturday, March 21. Earlier in the week, Mr. Achenbach told a hotel attendant that the couple had ridden to Pittston Farm and Northeast Carry.
The couple was due back at work in Pennsylvania today.
People with information about the couple should contact Piscataquis Sheriff’s Office 1-800-432-7372
