Website launch in search of a dead body

SEABROOK, N.H. -- The family of a man who disappeared eight years ago have established a toll-free hot line and Web site in hopes of finding his body.

Curt Pishon disappeared from his overnight security job on July 5, 2000, and his family has since legally declared him dead, WMUR News 9's Aaron Kellogg reported.

Relatives continue to post hundreds of posters on Seacoast streets in an effort to gather tips to determine where he went or how he died.

"You know, it's not as if he had outright died. It's another feeling that eats away at you," said Pishon's sister, Crystle.

"We think there are people out there who have information and it's an ethical and moral obligation for them to come forward," Seabrook police detective Sgt. Mike Gallagher said.

Curt Pishon worked at the former Venture Corp. building, which has since been torn down to make way for a new mall.

Police said someone torched Pishon's car, which was parked at his former workplace, in the early hours of the day Pishon disappeared.

"We thought fairly early on that Curtis had been done in by somebody, that in the normal course of events that his body would turn up some place," said Nick Pishon, Curt Pishon's father.

After time passed, Curt Pishon's father, Nick, has no doubt about the death of his son. He wants his son's body, information about his disappearance and closure.

"Let us know where we can locate his remains so we can give him a proper burial," Nick Pishon said.

Investigators said they hope people open up with information.

"In Seabrook, there's some sort of code of silence that's really prevalent," Gallagher said.

Authorities hope the family's posters will attract pieces of information to help complete the investigation. Police said just a few tips could solve this case.
