Michael James Delaney, 49, was last seen in Davenport, Iowa, on July 3, 2008. He lived with his 17-year-old daughter and was known to maintain regular contact with her, so his sudden disappearance alarmed family and investigators. His recently purchased white extended-cab Chevrolet Silverado Z-71 pickup truck also vanished; the vehicle had not yet been registered and was being driven with a license plate that did not belong to it.

Authorities have marked the circumstances suspicious. Mark Edward Handlon, who has a criminal history including theft and fraud, was named a person of interest after a string of related crimes around that time, including the theft of a similar truck from a Bettendorf dealership weeks before Delaney went missing. Despite those leads, neither Delaney nor his truck has ever been located and the case remains unsolved.

Anyone with information about Michael Delaney’s disappearance or the whereabouts of the vehicle is asked to contact the Davenport Police Department.
