Michael John Hodge was 39 when he vanished from Cleveland in the pre-dawn hours of March 6, 2004. Known as Mike, he lived with his father on West 172nd Street and worked as a landscaper and roofer. He was described as a white male, red hair, blue eyes, about 5 feet 10 inches and 140 pounds, with four missing upper front teeth, a left wrist scar and multiple tattoos including a skull with a long tongue on the inside of his right forearm.

That morning he left a party on the same block sometime between 4:30 a.m. and 6:30 a.m., riding a blue ten-speed bicycle. He was last seen near the 4000 block of West 172nd Street by Puritas Avenue wearing blue jeans or dark pants, a t-shirt, a white jacket, white athletic shoes and a blue canvas fishing hat over a gray knit hat. The Cleveland Police Department continues to investigate; the Ohio Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation has issued an age-progressed image as the family seeks leads.

If anyone remembers Michael that night, his routines, acquaintances or where he rode his bicycle, please contact the Cleveland Police Department with information.
