Nathaniel Christopher Ratliff was 22 and living in Kalamazoo, Michigan, when he was last seen at his home on the 3700 block of South Park Street on October 30, 2016. He left behind his cell phone, wallet, car keys and his car — belongings his family says he would not normally abandon — and did not show up for work. Family reported him missing on November 1, 2016.

Initial inquiries found no activity suggesting he started a new life elsewhere: no new bank accounts, credit cards or applications for a passport or driver’s license in other states. A later lead prompted an intensive search of the home where he was last seen, including the use of cadaver dogs. The case remains open and active.

If anyone knew Nathaniel, lived near South Park Street in 2016, or has information about his movements around October 30, 2016, please come forward.
