Michael Shane Gordon, 27, disappeared from his home in McKenzie, Alabama on March 6, 1998. He was described as a white male with red hair and blue eyes, 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 180 pounds. When last seen he was believed to be wearing a dark blue hooded sweatshirt, blue or black jeans and work boots; friends and family said he usually wore sunglasses.

Michael’s family reported he may have been with a friend, Randal D. Stallings, and that the two might have planned to travel within Alabama to places including Red Level, Tarrant, Leeds, Birmingham or Evergreen. He was classified as an endangered missing person and had ongoing medical issues from a prior car accident that left scar tissue on his neck and required doctor’s care.

There has been no public resolution to what happened after he left home; the circumstances remain unexplained. If anyone knew Michael, his movements that day, or saw him with Randal Stallings, please come forward with information.
