🕯️💔 Still Missing: Where Is Paul “Pauly” Bonin? 🧢🔎
On February 20, 2014, Paul John Bonin, known to those close to him as “Pauly” or “Pauly Wog,” was last seen in downtown Concord, New Hampshire. He was near the intersection of North Main Street and Washington Street when he disappeared. Since that day, Paul has never been heard from again, and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unknown.
💔 Paul was 50 years old when he went missing. Although he was experiencing homelessness at the time and often stayed in shelters, he maintained regular contact with family and friends. Then, without explanation, that contact stopped. For those who knew him, the silence left behind unanswered questions and the painful uncertainty of not knowing what happened to him.
The fact that Paul was known to frequent shelters and areas around Concord makes it especially important that his story reaches people who may have crossed paths with him. Someone may remember seeing him downtown, speaking with him at a shelter, or encountering him during the winter of 2014. Even a small detail could help investigators piece together his final known movements.
🔎 At the time of his disappearance, Paul was described as a white male with gray hair and blue eyes. His hair was shoulder-length, and he had a beard. Reports list his height between approximately 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 4 inches, with differing weight estimates of 115 to 130 pounds. He walked with a limp and smoked Pall Mall cigarettes.
Paul was last known to be wearing a gray jacket, blue jeans, a purple hat, and boots. He may also have been carrying a backpack.
🕊️ More than 12 years have passed since Paul was last seen. Today, he would be approximately 63 years old. Time has moved forward, but the mystery of his disappearance remains.
People experiencing homelessness can be especially vulnerable, and when someone disappears, their case deserves the same attention, compassion, and determination as anyone else’s. Paul was more than a missing-person report. He was a person with connections to family and friends, a name people knew, and a life that mattered.
💙 Please help keep Paul’s story alive. If you lived in Concord, visited the downtown area, or stayed at local shelters around February 2014, take a moment to think back. Could you have seen Paul? Do you remember anything that might help explain what happened to him?
Sometimes, the information that brings a case forward is something someone has remembered for years but never realized was important.
