Michael Anthony Hughes was six years old and a first-grader at Indian Meridian Elementary School in Choctaw, Oklahoma, on the morning of September 12, 1994, when he was taken from his classroom. A man who identified himself as Michael’s father, Franklin Delano Floyd, entered the school armed with a gun, forced principal James Davis to lead him to Michael’s classroom, then abducted both Michael and the principal at gunpoint. Floyd tied the principal to a tree in a wooded area and drove away with the boy.

Michael was last seen wearing a blue t-shirt with red sleeves, red and blue shorts, black high-top sneakers, and carrying a red and blue Aladdin backpack. He had a scar on his forehead and two new, crooked bottom teeth. A paternity test had already shown Floyd was not Michael’s biological father; Michael had been in foster care and was in the process of being adopted by his foster parents. Floyd was arrested two months after the abduction in Louisville, Kentucky, but Michael was not with him and has never been found.

Floyd later gave varying accounts about Michael’s whereabouts, including a 2014 statement to FBI agents that he had killed the boy the day of the abduction and buried him near an interstate exit in Oklahoma before the Texas border; searches of the area have not produced remains. Does anyone have information about Michael’s movements or the days leading up to September 12, 1994?
