Michael Steven Bowcott was 47 when he vanished after a hospital visit in Peoria, Illinois. On June 17, 2001, he was injured in an altercation at a party; his sister drove him to a local hospital, where staff treated him and gave him hospital attire. At some point during that visit he walked out of the facility and was not seen again. He left wearing only hospital scrubs.

Michael is a white male, about 5 feet 6 inches and roughly 100 pounds at the time, with brown eyes, graying black hair and a mustache. Distinctive marks include a chest tattoo of an Indian, Mike tattooed on his fingers, and a stud earring in his left ear. He used several nicknames — Frankie and Tocwob — and sometimes used the names Michael Seacrest or Mark Wise.

Very few leads have emerged since his disappearance and the Peoria Police Department handled the investigation. The fact he left while injured and in hospital clothing raises unresolved questions about what happened to him that night. If anyone knew Michael, his whereabouts, or saw him after June 17, 2001, please share what you know.
