Michael Sills, a 63-year-old pilot from Winter Garden, Florida, was last seen on September 11, 2012. That day he had recently ended a relationship and sent his former girlfriend alarming texts in which he threatened to crash his Piper PA-28-181 into her home and warned that calling police was too late. Authorities found Sills’ truck at the Orlando‑Apopka Airport, but both he and the aircraft were gone. His phone’s last ping was near Zellwood, Florida, not far from the airport. Investigators also found signs suggesting Sills may have attempted suicide in his vehicle.

Local agencies, the FAA, and the FBI conducted extensive searches but did not locate Sills or the plane. The disappearance is believed to be a suicide, though neither a body nor the aircraft has been recovered and the case remains unsolved. Does anyone have information about Sills, his flights that day, or sightings in the Zellwood or Orlando‑Apopka area?
