Michael Black, 48, of Janesville, Wisconsin, was reported missing on November 20, 2002 after he did not return home. Family and friends described him as caring with strong community ties, and they alerted authorities when he failed to come back the day he was last seen.

Local law enforcement carried out searches in the Janesville area using ground and aerial resources and interviewed people who might have had contact with Michael before his disappearance, but investigators initially found no substantial leads. Michael’s family has kept his case in the public eye through social media, local news and community events, hoping someone will provide information that could lead to his return or explain what happened.

If anyone knew Michael, saw him in the days around November 20, 2002, or has information that could help his family, please come forward.
