Michael Erick Burckley was 29 when he was last seen leaving his residence in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on October 18, 2001. He was in the area of Foster and Lafayette streets NE at the time. Michael is described as a white male, 6 feet 2 inches tall, about 230 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He wore tortoiseshell-frame glasses and had a faded angel tattoo on his back.

At the time of his disappearance he was believed to be wearing jeans and possibly a jean jacket, and an inexpensive digital sports watch. He was in need of medication for an unspecified condition. The Albuquerque Police Department lists him as an endangered missing person; his case was reported on March 16, 2002, and DNA samples from his parents are on file with the FBI CODIS.

Michael has not been seen or heard from since that October day and the circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear. If anyone has information about where Michael was on or after October 18, 2001, please come forward.
