Michael Barnes, a 60-year-old Black man from Winter Garden, Florida, was last seen on August 8, 2025, leaving his home on Siplin Road on foot. He is described as 6 feet tall, about 150 pounds, with gray or partially gray hair and brown eyes. When last seen he wore a gray shirt, gray shorts, and one black sandal.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office considers him endangered because of medical conditions that include memory loss and has registered the case in NamUS under MP152700 (agency case number 25-045043). Local news outlets ran appeals for information in the weeks after his disappearance, and the Sheriff’s Office asked anyone with information to contact them. As of late December 2025 there have been no public updates and no indication that he has been found; his whereabouts remain unknown.

If anyone in Winter Garden or the surrounding area saw Michael after August 8, 2025, or has information about his movements or current location, please contact the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
