Michael James Yarwood, 80, of Anchorage, Alaska, was last heard from on July 28, 2025. His family grew concerned when weeks passed with no word, and the Anchorage Police Department opened a missing person investigation on August 15, 2025. Michael is described as a white male, gray or partially gray hair, blue eyes, five feet seven inches tall, about 235 pounds.

Circumstances are unclear. Investigators and family considered a range of possibilities; one unconfirmed theory was that he might have traveled to Las Vegas, but that remained speculative. The Anchorage Police Department and Alaska State Troopers asked the public for information as the search continued.

If anyone saw Michael after July 28, 2025, or has information about possible travel plans or sightings, please contact the Anchorage Police Department.
