- Details of Disappearance:
- Michael Nichols vanished in Salt Lake City, Utah, in June 2004. He was last seen at his home on the morning of June 8th. He was supposed to have breakfast with his ex-wife and son but called to cancel. His girlfriend reported him missing the next day.
A month later, his truck was found just a short distance from the McDonald’s where he was to meet his family. His bank accounts and credit cards haven’t been used since he disappeared. He had planned a trip to Wisconsin and had already bought tickets and booked a hotel, suggesting he didn’t intend to leave permanently. His family says he was happy and close to them, making his disappearance very unusual.
His ex-wife had filed for bankruptcy before his disappearance. Two weeks after he vanished, she and their son moved away and are now believed to be out of the country. She’s been charged with bankruptcy fraud, and there’s a warrant for her arrest.
Police found no evidence of a crime, but both the police and Nichols’ family think his disappearance is suspicious. The case remains unsolved.
