Donnie Ray Martin III, 31, was last seen on August 3, 2017, in Madison Heights, Michigan. He finished a shift with ABK Tree Service near 10 Mile Road and Dequindre around 11:00 to 11:30 a.m. and left on foot after declining a ride from his brother-in-law. Roughly 20 minutes later he sent a text to his girlfriend; that message was the last known communication.
At the time of his disappearance Donnie was wearing a red ABK Tree Service shirt, jeans and tennis shoes. He is described as a Caucasian male, 6 feet tall, about 230 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. Distinguishing marks include a right forearm and hand sleeve tattoo, MARTIN across his lower back, an Asian symbol on the side of his neck and a D on his left ring finger; he also has a lip piercing, left nostril piercing and a cheek piercing below the corner of his right eye and may have been wearing a nose or lip ring.
Authorities searched and canvassed areas he frequented, including around John R Street and State Fair Avenue in Detroit, and attempts to trace his cell phone were unsuccessful.
If anyone saw Donnie on August 3, 2017, or remembers him in the Madison Heights or Detroit areas, please share what was seen or where he might have headed.
