Michelle Lynn Otter was 15 when she left her father’s home on NE 141st Street in Fort McCoy, Florida, on the morning of May 7, 1998, and never arrived at the school bus stop. Known as Missy, she was 4 feet 11 inches and 95 pounds, with brown hair, green/hazel eyes, and a lazy left eye. At the time she disappeared she wore a t-shirt, blue jeans, a blue and brown flannel shirt and carried a bookbag.

Authorities have classified the case as endangered missing and say little progress has been made; they suspect foul play may be involved. Age-progressed images have been released and the family and Marion County Sheriff’s Office continue to seek information.

If anyone saw Michelle around Fort McCoy on May 7, 1998, or has information that could help investigators, please contact the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.
