Justin Lee Holt, a 35-year-old father of five, vanished from the Twin Lake area of Michigan on January 3, 2018. He was last seen near Bayne Street and Maple Island Road and failed to contact his brother the next day as planned. Family welfare checks at his Cedar Creek Township home found the back door unlocked and his truck in the driveway. Personal items including his coat, shoes, and cigarettes were inside, while his wallet, keys, and phone were missing.

Investigators found a few drops of blood in the snow at the driveway later confirmed to be Justin’s. Cadaver dogs did not detect human remains, his phone was turned off after his last known ping near home, and there was no credit card activity. Footprints were seen in the snow leading toward Clear Lake; divers and side-scan sonar searches of the lake produced no evidence. An ex-wife’s partner was reported to have made threats but was ruled out after law enforcement located him in Louisiana.

Holt is described as a white male, 6 feet 2 inches, about 220 pounds, blond hair, blue eyes, with tattoos including Janalee on his left forearm and his wedding vows on his right shoulder; he wore prescription glasses and often a kangol or fedora-style hat. The case remains an active investigation. Did anyone in the Twin Lake or Clear Lake area see Justin or notice anything the night he disappeared?
