Michael Mccormick, a 32-year-old white man with brown hair and blue eyes, was last seen on December 7, 1989, leaving his Elmira, New York, home on foot and not telling anyone where he was going. He was described as between 6 feet 0 inches and 6 feet 2 inches and 160 to 190 pounds, with a scar on a finger of his right hand and a scar on his right cheek. When last seen he wore a gold watch and carried house keys on a keychain attached to a belt loop; he did not have a vehicle.

The Elmira Police Department opened the investigation on December 28, 1989. Detectives found no activity on his Social Security number after his disappearance and were unable to obtain IRS records about his last tax filing. There was no clothing description and no local contact since he vanished; the case remains active with NamUs. If anyone in Elmira or the surrounding area remembers Michael or saw him around December 7, 1989, please share what you know.
