Michael Lawrence Limesand was 26 and living in Freeport, Illinois, when he vanished on the evening of May 25, 1985. He was last seen at about 7:45 p.m. after a friend dropped him off at his apartment at 941 W. Stephenson Street; his mother rang him around 8:30 p.m. and got no answer. Investigators believe he disappeared within that roughly 45-minute window.

Michael’s car was found parked near his home with his sister’s letters inside. His apartment still contained his checkbook, credit cards, clothing and an uncashed paycheck, and there was no activity on his bank or credit accounts after he went missing. He was described as a white male, 5 feet 9 inches, 140 pounds, brown hair, green eyes, with a concave breastbone and a scar on his right arm, and believed to be wearing a unicorn necklace, a one-karat diamond gold ring and a gold wedding band. Eight years earlier he had served in the Marines. Foul play is suspected and he was declared legally dead in 1992; the investigation remains open.

If anyone was in Freeport on Memorial Day 1985 or has information about Michael’s movements that evening or any contact after May 25, please come forward.
