- Details of Disappearance:
- Michael disappeared on December 27, 1979, after leaving his mom’s house in Boynton Beach, Florida. His family didn’t report him missing until July 1981. Michael’s siblings suspected their abusive father, David Sr., was responsible. David Sr. had ominously told Michael’s mother that no one would have to worry about Michael anymore.
Things got worse: In 1980, David Jr., Michael’s brother, confronted David Sr. about Michael’s disappearance. David Sr. threatened him with a gun. Ten days later, after a drunken argument over money, David Sr. shot and killed David Jr. He was acquitted of manslaughter, claiming self-defense.
Years later, David Sr. was convicted of murdering his sister in New York. Police searched his old Florida home for Michael’s body but found nothing. Because of David Sr.’s violent history and his suspicious behavior surrounding Michael’s disappearance, Michael is presumed dead, but his case remains unsolved.
