Clues Sought In Search For Missing Northern NY Man Not Seen For 18 Months
A Northern New York man has been officially reported missing after friends and family say he hasn't been heard from for over a year and a half.
Thirty-five-year-old Stephen Houghton is from the hamlet of Keeseville, NY and was last seen at the Stewart's Shops in Port Henry, NY on February 20, 2022. He's approximately 6-feet 2-inches tall, about 225-pounds, with black hair and blue eyes.
