Bruce Douglas Whelton was last seen at his home near North Frost Drive and Gratiot Road in Saginaw on July 6, 2006. Reports place him at about 2:30 a.m., and a phone call was made from his residence at roughly 4:00 a.m.; after that there was no further contact. His older model red Schwinn bicycle, described with upright handlebars and ten-speed-style tires, was also missing.

He was about 6 feet to 6 feet 1 inch tall, roughly 220 pounds, with blond hair and green eyes. He left behind his wallet and his contact lenses and may have been wearing camouflage pants, white athletic shoes and a gold watch. Family said he had been grieving his mother’s recent death but showed no clear signs of depression; they believed he had called in sick that day while his employer had no record of such a call.

The Saginaw Township Police Department kept the case open and his family later pursued legal steps; no public report identifies an arrest, suspect, or confirmed account of foul play. Does anyone who lived in the area that week remember seeing a red Schwinn or anything unusual around North Frost and Gratiot the morning of July 6, 2006?
