Michael Darnell Bell Jr., 25, was last seen in Los Angeles on September 16, 2011. The next day his blue 2002 Toyota Camry ran out of gas on Interstate 5 near Mendota, about four hours north of Los Angeles. A CHP officer encountered him at about 3:15 AM and gave him a ride to the nearby Chevron at Panoche Road; Bell was never heard from again after that contact.

Bell had been preparing to travel to Cleveland to join family. After he vanished relatives found his Los Angeles apartment undisturbed, with personal belongings and food left in the microwave. His car was later recovered at the spot where it had run out of fuel. He had been studying Scientology but was not known to attend regular services. Fresno and Los Angeles authorities have investigated, but his whereabouts remain unknown.

If anyone saw Michael around Interstate 5, the Panoche Road Chevron area, or in the hours after 3:15 AM on September 17, 2011, can you share what you remember?
