Michael Maurice Rustin was 33 when he was last seen on April 19, 2009, at the Latin Mix convenience store in the 900 block of Fulton Avenue in Salisbury, North Carolina. Surveillance footage shows him pull into the lot, exit his vehicle, and later get into a blue Chevrolet Impala with two Hispanic men. When he failed to return home his girlfriend and sister found his car in the lot with identification and other personal items inside; his cell phone was missing. He was reported missing to the Salisbury Police Department at 11:30 p.m.

Authorities treated the case as a possible kidnapping and believe Rustin was taken against his will. The video also reportedly shows a Hispanic man entering Rustin’s vehicle and removing an unknown item. At the time he disappeared he wore a light gray and white Dickies t-shirt, dark gray sweatpants, black boots and a beaded African necklace. He is described as a Black male, 5 feet 9 inches, 155 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and numerous tattoos, including Metro on his chest and Top Shottas on his upper left arm.

If anyone saw Michael the night of April 19, 2009, or has information about the blue Chevrolet Impala or the two men seen with him, please come forward.
