Michael Joseph Scully, 25, was last heard from in New Castle County, Delaware, on November 21, 1986. NamUs lists him as White, 5 feet 10 inches and about 165 pounds, with brown hair, green eyes, a beard, and contact lenses; family glasses were also noted. Reports say he woke his brother around 3:00 a.m. and asked for the keys to a white 1980 two-door Pontiac without explaining where he was going. That exchange is described as the last known sighting.

The Pontiac was later found abandoned on the Delaware Memorial Bridge with its engine running and four-way flashers on; a brown leather jacket was reportedly found on the right-hand railing behind the vehicle. Rescue boats searched the area for about an hour and resumed at daylight, but Michael’s body was not recovered. There was reportedly no known history of depression and no suicide note, leaving the circumstances unresolved. Family reference DNA from biological sisters has been submitted to CODIS.

Does anyone have information about Michael’s movements that night or recall seeing that Pontiac on or near the bridge?
