Charles Ray Koskela, 42, was last heard from on April 4, 2023, when he failed to arrive at his girlfriend’s home in Dearborn, Michigan after supposedly getting a ride. That day is the last known contact friends and family had with him. He is described as having brown hair, hazel eyes, a lazy right eye, scars on both forearms and his right arm, and distinctive tattoos including a tribal design on his right forearm, a dragon on his lower left calf, and a cross on his stomach.

A month after he disappeared, Michigan Department of Corrections records show Charles was listed as having absconded from parole on May 3, 2023. His prior criminal convictions for home invasion and breaking and entering are part of his background and have complicated how loved ones and authorities view his disappearance. No confirmed contact has been reported since April 4, and it remains unclear whether he left intentionally or met with foul play.

If anyone knew Charles’s routines, places he frequented, or saw him after April 4, 2023, please come forward with information.
