Thirteen-year-old Michael Lloyd Reese left his Salt Lake City home on East 1700 South on June 3, 1985, for a day at East Canyon Reservoir with friends. Michael had just graduated from Glendale Middle School, wanted to be a doctor, and was described as popular with a diverse circle of friends. He is noted as having green eyes, a mole on his right cheek, bright white teeth with braces top and bottom, and a scar on his upper right arm.

Michael spent the day at the reservoir with 21-year-old David Jaramillo and two other friends. At some point Michael and David became separated from the other two; the circumstances of that separation are unclear. The last reported sighting of the pair was them driving away in a brown Datsun B210. When they did not return that evening, family and friends reported them missing.

The initial investigation produced very little evidence, and authorities could not determine whether foul play or an accident was involved. Underwater searches with sonar and other follow-ups have not recovered the Datsun or shown what happened. The case remains open and the families, who still live in the Salt Lake City area, continue to seek answers.

Did anyone who was at East Canyon Reservoir on June 3, 1985, or who might have seen a brown Datsun B210 around that time, notice anything that could help investigators?
