BARRE, Vt. (AP) - A criminal inquest has been opened into the disappearance of a Barre man missing since spring and believed to be the victim of foul play, prosecutors said.
Ralph Jean-Marie, 38, who also goes by “Rizz,” was last seen near the Hollow Inn in Barre on April 13, WCAX-TV reported. He did not have his glasses, prescription medications or wallet when he disappeared and police said he may be the victim of foul play.
Dozens of Jean-Marie’s friends and family gathered in front of Barre City Hall over the weekend seeking justice in his case.
