Michael P. McAvoy was 41 when he vanished from his Kansas City, Missouri home in the winter of 1999. He was last seen on January 13 leaving his residence near the 7700 block of Summitt on foot. At that time he was described as a white male, 5 feet 11 inches tall, 225 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing work jeans, work boots, a baseball cap, and possibly glasses.

McAvoy was disabled by a neurological dysfunction and left behind his cherished pets, which family and investigators say was very out of character. There has been no reported contact with him since that January day and the Kansas City Police Department’s missing persons report remains active. The case has been listed with various missing persons organizations but no substantial leads have been reported.

If anyone knew Michael, saw him in January 1999, or has information that could help resolve what happened, please come forward.
