Enfield Family Offers Reward for Information on Missing Soldier

A reward is being offered by the Enfield family of a former Connecticut National Guardsman who disappeared during a diving vacation in Thailand earlier this year.

A $5,000 reward is being offered by Sgt. Josh Devine’s family who believe the veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan is the victim of unfortunate circumstances and they’re willing to pay for information that brings Devine back home.

The 36-year-old Devine was with his wife, a native of Thailand, and others on a dive boat headed for an excursion in the Similan Islands when he disappeared April 11. In an interview with WFSB, his sister Jennifer Bakowski said, “I do think he’s gone.” His mother, Marie Major said she wants closure.

Major and Bakowski visited Thailand in April and met with U.S. Embassy and local officials in hopes of finding answers.

At the time of his disappearance, Devine was working as a civilian on a U.S. military base in Kuwait.

On Friday, the family will host a benefit to help pay for legal and investigation costs at Maximum Capacity in Chicopee, MA.
