Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Foster was last seen near a disused railroad trestle in Winchester, New Hampshire on March 5, 1998. A friend supposedly left him there and got a ride with another friend. He has never been heard from again, but a few days later some of his belongings, including his wallet, cigarettes, lighter and jacket were found along the tracks, across from the entrance to Thicket Hill.
Foster had dropped out of Thayer High School in the eleventh grade. At the time of his disappearance, he was living with his parents and working at Cerosimo Lumber. He was saving money for his own apartment, closer to work, but hadn't mentioned wanting to move away from the local area.
He left some paychecks behind at his workplace, which lead police to speculate he may have taken his own life, but if he did his body has never been found. His case remains unsolved.
