Police in Portland, Maine, are investigating the disappearance of a 31-year-old Harvard Business School student who was last seen in the city’s Old Port section early Sunday morning.
Nathan G. Bihlmaier of Cambridge was scheduled to graduate Thursday and was celebrating the end of school with friends at a waterfront bar called Ri Ra. His friends reported him missing when he failed to return to his hotel room, police said in a prepared statement.
Divers recovered an article of Bihlmaier’s clothing, but the police did not describe the clothing in detail.
Reached by phone Monday evening, an assistant manager at the bar said that the business had been advised not to comment because the police investigation is ongoing.
Authorities have checked the area along the waterfront and divers have searched near State Pier, a police statement said. The Coast Guard and harbormaster assisted in the effort.
A Harvard Business School spokesman, Brian Kenny, said in a telephone interview from Portland that Bihlmaier, who was from Kansas, had completed the school’s two-year program. He said a number of students from the school, as well as Bihlmaier’s parents and his wife, who is expecting their first child, were all in Portland Monday.
Kenny said Bihlmaier’s friends called him a great person who was excited about his work and about being a father.
He said Bihlmaier had started a job in Boston after classes ended.
