Stephen Mark Millis, 49, was last seen on January 4, 2019, in Hesperia, Newaygo County. Surveillance from a Dollar General on East South Street shows him enter about 6:40 p.m. to buy cat food, wearing a red and black buffalo flannel shirt over a grey t-shirt, light-colored jeans and grey work boots. He left the store at 6:48 p.m. and walked out of camera view.

His unlocked black GMC Jimmy was left in the parking lot with many personal items inside, including a duffel bag with clothes and toiletries. His phone and keys were missing. He had planned to meet someone in that parking lot to sell fishing gear before driving to Muskegon to join friends, but the buyer found him gone. A witness reportedly saw him get into a white vehicle that night. No bank, social media or Social Security activity followed, and searches of lakes in Oceana and Newaygo counties plus extensive interviews have produced no conclusive evidence.

Family members suspect foul play and say he associated with a rough crowd; investigators also encountered the local drug world during their inquiries. Does anyone who knew Stephen or who was in Hesperia the evening of January 4, 2019, have information that could help clarify what happened?
