Update: New Hampshire police have found the missing insurance agent, who was accused by clients of taking their money and never putting that money toward insurance premiums. The agent was located, and is safe and sound. The premiums, though, are still missing. The agent told his wife he was going to Boston to drive for Uber the day he went missing. He never drove for Uber that day, and, according to his wife, his cell phone was turned off around 8:30 pm. His insurance office has said they are working with each affected customer to help them, and a new agent is currently in the process of taking over the agency.
