Circumstances of Disappearance

Flossie Wilbur was last seen at an auction on August 24, 1985. Workers of Angelica Village Market reported her missing on August 31, 1985, when she didn't pick up a newspaper for 6 consecutive days.

When her home was checked, the back door was found unlocked. There was a half-eaten meal on the kitchen table and rotting groceries were found in her unlocked car in the driveway. A receipt for groceries purchased at Harrington's Grocery in Belfast dated August 24 at 5:45pm and her pocketbook were found inside the house.

In 2020 a neighbor of Flossie's named David Sherk, allegedly confessed to killing Flossie, cooperated with police, and told them where the body was possibly buried. Police searched an area near Almond Dam but did not find any remains.
