Alan Taylor Sr., 51, was last seen on April 18, 2009, when he told family he was going to visit relatives in Flint, Michigan, a short distance from his Mount Morris home. He is Black, 69 inches tall, about 165 pounds. On the day he vanished he wore dark blue jeans, a black and white t-shirt, and a black jacket.

Which relatives he planned to see, whether he ever reached Flint, and how he was travelling that day are not publicly known. His disappearance was logged with the Mt. Morris Township Police Department and the investigation remains open; his case is listed in national missing persons databases. The central mystery is what happened after he left home for what was described as a routine visit.

If anyone knew Alan’s plans that day, saw him leave, or has information about his movements en route to Flint, please share what you know with investigators.
