What happened to Eli McRae?
In June 2021, Eli McRae disappeared from his home and business. Later that year, I went to find him. That someone so prominent in their community could vanish without a trace from a town as small as Prudence, Massachusetts is beyond my ability to comprehend or accept.
This blog exists to share the resources I used to investigate his disappearance with the public, in the hopes that collectively we can make better sense of what happened that day at the Black Goat Tavern.
No matter how hot or cold the tip, please do not hesitate reach out and leave any information in the comment sections provided. Together, we will continue the search until the real story is uncovered and justice restored.
