During Easter of 2013, 37-year-old Ryan Blagojevic disappeared from the central harbor area of Portland, Maine. He had struggled with alcohol as a teen but when he suffered a severe brain injury in an accident a few years prior to his disappearance, it led to a more serious dependence on alcohol. Ryan had lived in the area for around two years— on the streets and in and out of shelters, so specifics about his life at this time are vague. What is known however, is that on the evening of March 31, 2013, he was intoxicated, kicked out of a shelter and the police were called. After they spoke with him and he went on his way — Ryan was never seen again.
If you have information about Ryan’s disappearance, please call Detective Chris Giesecke at the Portland Maine Police Dept. at (207) 874-8593.
You can follow Ryan's case on Facebook at Missing Ryan Blagojevic.

These were the last people to see ryan, but there's no indication or suspicion that law enforcement had anything to do with its disappearance. He was
taken into protective custody, even though he was visibly intoxicated.

It always kept in touch with ryan as much as she could anyway, considering that he was estranged from the family and living on the streets, but
the time he was in contact with his parents.
Disability payments were managed by his parents, so they would know where ryan was because he would call them to have them wire payments through to him

In two thousand ten, while under the influence ryan had a major car accident,.
My brother, I like a bad problem with alcohol, starting when he young he can help. My crew

And shoot out and tat, he was in a really bad car accident up in mean he was intoxicated

and he really lost the well like where
We now need a few or so
he had not regulate his emotion if he couldn't get what he wanted in earth total meltdown
He didn't even want to try to stop drinking at that point and before
Like you wanted to stop you, nobody, he didn't you just couldn't you know
when he got back that car accident

how many does never got better,
You know what that brain under him because he kept drinking. He don't you got worse,
ryan had a long term girlfriend who got pregnant after as accident
due to rights issues following the brain injury, the relationship disintegrated.
And his former girlfriend and mother of his child got a restraining order against him, ryan move
back home with eve and their parents back in massachusetts,.
but after a while, they were able to deal with his addiction and that's when he moved back to maine.
They had a very rocky relationship, but they were
on again off again fur.
my entire childhood, I would say about fifteen,
maybe a little bit less.
but towards the end
As you know, one his daughter was born. Now is, alas, how like maybe I'll, stop drinking than it.
People ever do that, because it never work and it didn't, and so
she had to leave
It wasn't a good relationship
here,
I had gone out settlement.
It was about a ten. I think he may be got sick
in dollars and I parents
then take it anymore. Walking on that child. You know their elderly, my father, a sudden, passed away. My mom is:
many tool
They couldn't live like that. So when he got the money
he found a room up in portland and
he wanted to go up to mean he knew his daughter was there
It was like the last chance he really had to get his life together. Maybe have a chance to. I have a wife with his daughter by it
I hadn't going there. What that much money,
If we went off and then I
he lost the room,
was renting and
the start of living at the shelters and people, but I
I thoroughly your body could without in the woods for years. You know he always was an outdoor, the kind of person when he was younger. So what would he fell into the homelessness? That really do you mean
we'll take let you know he went for a while. He had spent a good six months in
look at that time.
While in maine eve was concerned about her brother, but felt powerless to help the situation
She was in college and didn't have the ability to assist ryan.
It was a struggle just to keep in contact with him and know that he was ok.
I kind of cap track of him by police reports.
Here, the european irrational, petty crimes alla time, keeping in public and walking out, unlike at seventeen dollar tab,
you'd better. Now the shelter is primarily thing at the watch. Alter their syllable
If I really didn't like up, obviously like he in the ass for them
so my mom would set. He had a p o box up there and
the first couple months, even though we didn't hear from them, he would send the tax up there, but what? If
for missing, I actually contacted the mother.
In rex girlfriend I contacted- and she was like she added
restraining order because he wouldn't stop contacting her he needed
family,
probably in our view, the cat
and tat, he had
a couple of months with no word from ryan and the family, not seeing any activity on mine or any information about him getting into trouble with the police.
Early. May eve decided that it was time to file a missing persons report
We've have been trying to establish exactly when someone had last seen him wearing
in the night he went missing
it wasn't until she filed the report that she was able to find out some information, the
for they told me they were given a doll. You know, obviously we know these people can make up and run away. They can do what they want, but he wasn't
people ask, then he never. You can't
and my parents for that money again. There's never been anything
like any sign of them ever again,
you find out
shelter. He was I and how I file that missing persons report. I have been calling the police and asking
I've been corner shop just received. He was there, but obviously they weren't able to tell me so that was valuable private. You eve
and spoke to the homeless shelter, I don't know it
Thirdly, what transpired at the shelter that an evening there was definitely not
and he was asked to leave, but when the devil
yeah
He would like read me the blurring from the police lock at night in the shortest thing like there's, just no information it
we hear that they tell me that they, just they were just a quick get out of here,
I don't think he would do anything to him. You know what I mean. That's not really what I thought I really don't pick up, but there's just
I've always thought tat. Her back. In my mind, I filed
If report
I believe it was in may, but if we didn't know for sure you know like, maybe he did just go off, but he wasn't calling for his disability checks.
and he really was incapable of like breathing.
John behind his brain injury and not right.
I can be avid into the pool via that, like it didn't, have the capability of just like up and going away, and they
very, very dismissed the game. They never get a search form.
If anything, I asked
to fight to get him and you name it
Some, I was finally able to get him in their last year. I took so long
ridiculous how long it took to get in there and like portland, you know I do
what thou well annoyed, and after a few times you, my own virtues, so
and the fact that ryan was homeless and it
become immediately apparent to any one at the time that he was missing no sir
was ever conducted.
you know now the detective on the case. Kindness took seriously the last time. I thought you were when you like admit, though yeah like this.
Pretty bad. But now there is nothing we can really do, there's never been. They ve, never done a search for him.
they never done anything even
He didn't heart. My parents really that much the last couple of months. He would
offer his money, he was inadequate
there is the police did anything. It's just that. I wish
You get more information like I don't even know the officer there like him laugh.
if he was very close to the harbour
maybe he found the water, but when I brought it
few crash. He
he was a global: you ve done
the harbour for other people, so we know is not there.
When it comes to suicide, ryan's family doesn't believe that he would have taken his own life.
They have always felt that he had a drive to clean himself up for the sake of his daughter
Is he wouldn t
boy. She would never not
pact us and
there's a worn out for him, but the probation he was always in trouble. There's no way in how you got five years without having any form of contact with the police
you know he wouldn't do that, especially with his daughter tat. Was it
later the drive to that clean and silver when he went first
nothing. I contacted the bomb even here record no way and how you wouldn't contact any of our thinking.
This does not that kind of a person part
Like things maybe me here how unhook the harbour? You know, I don't know he didn't just run away.
when he first for missing and I was in contact with the police. There was this officer that I had been speaking with and spoke with him twice.
he had mentioned, there is
peaks island, which is right near portland.
It's an I went off in portland and he said that there was a gentleman with the house over there and the home
we're in what he would take care of people
and supposedly
ryan had mention this to that officer. I dont even know that he was gonna. Take a bow over the peaks island, nothing
came of that, but I was thinking
was true. Maybe he fell into the water.
Installer was very young when he disappeared and although the relationship with the child's mother was strained at the time the family,
has been able to build a relationship and be in each other's lives.
She actually just moved to the cave back to the cape for me, so
I just went to his daughters first soccer and showed me great, like build a relationship with her the only
the eve or the police have received was from a man who knew ryan through a homeless shelter. He said
that there was a rumour that ryan had taken a rowboat over two peaks island
where, amongst small residential and commercial population, a small group of homeless people live ethan,
said this tape was looked into by police, but never lead to anything. Considering the fact that a fairy takes twenty minutes to get two peaks island, it would
difficult to row, even for a physically fit person
as for falling into the harbor, it is
the boy
just possible. I mean you really never know I yes, everything's
really case by case in sir.
I possible sure we'd
I've had some people far when not survive referred people form survives. The unfortunately does happen.
may we have missing people every almost all the time
You know I can go from anywhere like ryan's case to two kids run on when ever
in between
never saw again, everything's different, so humming, but unfortunately just get a lot. We do so so, no, that's not. It was not a cop,
call me where we find people in the water admitted, but it does happen.
He feels the weight of being the only person who has ever looked for ryan in her. I,
Only when I took care my brother case, you know my mama. They went down
You know, so I'm really the only one that try to stay on top of it.
And eve understands that for the police ryan wasn't a priority
but he should have had at least some kind of focus curry.
Obviously words like a nuisance for them. You know
but I just want to bring them home. You know
it's so rule with the police. Sometimes you yearly didn't take more seriously
But then again
from like a realistic standpoint. I totally Stephen are coming from.
You don't like I really assembly them with. What did they do to him, but they didn't do anything to him. You know he was drunk. He had something you better,
and learn something
then.

Ryan has now been missing for over six years right
dna is in the system,
but as yet no matches to any unidentified persons, have been established,
So what happened? A ryan after he was kicked out of a shelter on march thirty. First, two thousand thirteen
we know that he spoke to the police. But where did he go after that? Did he simply fall into the harbour and was never located?
Did he meet with foul play? Could ryan have travelled to another city or town and is currently living amongst the homeless population? There could he be out there somewhere, not knowing who he is. Could the combination of his brain injury and heavy alcohol use have caused some sort of amnesia eve desperately wants to find out what happened to her brother, but she feels as though no one is really looking. He was homeless and battling alcoholism and seen by many others is simply not a priority, but to eve rhine will always be her brother and she deserves answers.
