Area Real Estate Agent Missing; SUV Found in New Hampshire

Westport real estate agent Arthur Dean Reinhart has been missing since he left his brother's home in Lexington, N.C. on March 22 to return to Connecticut.

Reinhart drove away in his silver Jeep Liberty, which was located by police on April 13 in a commuter lot in Portsmouth, NH. The SUV was locked.

During an interview Friday with WMUR-TV reporter Mike Garrity, Portsmouth Police Lt. Mike Maloney said a search of the vehicle found no signs of obvious foul play.

Police there said Reinhart's SUV contained his belongings, including a suitcase and overnight bag.

In a missing person poster, Portsmouth Police say Reinhart's last e-mail correspondence was sent from his account April 2. They say his brother in Lexington, Robert Reinhart, filed a missing person report with local police April 12.

The poster says Reinhart, 50, is white, 6-feet 4-inches tall, 250-260 pounds, medium build, light complexion, and has brown eyes and salt-and-pepper hair.

Reinhart is identified as a fine home specialist on the web site of Westport real estate firm Jonathan Deak & Associates.

Anyone with information concerning Reinhart's disappearance can call Portsmouth Police at (603) 436-2145.
