Pishon was last seen standing in front of the vending machine around 3:15 a.m., Gallagher said.Around 1:30 a.m., Pishon’s car caught fire, or was set on fire, according to Gallagher. That same night, the vending machines were broken into, and the door of a locked room was kicked in.“It’s possible all are related,” Gallagher said. “We do havepeople of interest.”The 5-foot-9, 165-pound security guard had disappeared by the time Pishon’s relief reported for duty between 4 and 6 a.m. His personal belongings, his lunch, contact lens case and solution, cigarettes and lighter, were still in the guard shack.Last Aug. 15, Seabrook, N.H.

This was in accordance with the seven-year waiting period under state law.The family wants to bring Pishon home, according to Barbo.
