In the late summer of 2020, concern began to grow for 41-year-old Joseph Lee McBride. A resident of St. Helens, Michigan, he was last seen in the Detroit area on August 14, 2020. At the time of his disappearance, authorities noted that he might be riding a black and green Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle. His family and law enforcement were anxious for any information that could lead to his whereabouts, and the Michigan State Police from the Houghton Lake Post were handling the investigation. Details about Joseph's appearance were shared in the hopes that someone might recognize him. He is a white male with brown hair and blue eyes, standing at approximately six feet tall. He has a number of distinctive tattoos, including full sleeves on both arms. Specific tattoos include a spray can on his left calf, a skull on his left shoulder, and a girl with a gas mask and the Twin Towers on his right arm. Friends and family worked to raise awareness about his case, reaching out to organizations for assistance in spreading the word. Thankfully, this period of uncertainty has come to a close, as Joseph Lee McBride has been located and is alive. While the specific details and date surrounding his being found are not publicly available, the official status of his case has been updated to reflect that he is no longer considered a missing person. The resolution of his case brings an end to a period of distress for his loved ones. This positive outcome serves as a reminder of the importance of community awareness and law enforcement efforts in missing persons cases.
