What personal possessions were found in the boat and what do they reveal about Schultze's activities that day?
Why was the boat anchored in the middle of the river rather than drifting, and what does this suggest about the circumstances?
Were there any witnesses who saw Schultze or his boat on September 3, 2010, or in the days leading up to his disappearance?
Robert David Schultze, a 63-year-old man, went missing on September 3, 2010, after his unmanned outboard boat was discovered anchored in the middle of the Piscataqua River between Kittery, New Hampshire and Portsmouth, New Hampshire, with his personal possessions still aboard.
