Summary based on 5 sources
Michael J. Chouinard, a 28-year-old man, was last seen in Austin, Texas, on August 10, 1991. Since that day, he has not been seen or heard from again. Official sources and missing persons databases classify his case as an "endangered missing" person. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain largely unknown, with very few details available to the public. His case is listed with the Austin Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety's Missing Persons Clearinghouse.

At the time of his disappearance, Michael J. Chouinard was described as a white male, standing at 6 feet tall and weighing approximately 175 pounds. He had blond hair and green eyes. A distinguishing physical characteristic noted in his file is a mole on his neck. It is also documented that Chouinard is disabled, although the specific nature of his disability is not publicly detailed. Information regarding the clothing he was wearing at the time he was last seen has not been made available.

Despite the passage of several decades, there has been no significant progress publicly reported in the investigation into Chouinard's disappearance. Information such as dental records, fingerprints, and DNA have been noted as not available in his case file. The lack of available details has made it difficult for the case to gain widespread public attention, and it remains one of Austin's long-unsolved missing person cases. Authorities continue to list him as missing, and his case remains open.
