Michael Joseph Donohue, 48, was last heard from on January 19, 2005, when he sent a final email to family from Santa Cruz, California. After that message no one reported seeing or hearing from him. Normal patterns of his life stopped abruptly and his loved ones were left with only that last communication.

In June 2005 his vehicle was found in Santa Cruz; reports said it had been abandoned there for at least several months. A thorough search of the car turned up no explanation for his disappearance, and a K-9 search of the surrounding area also produced nothing. Donohue is described as a white male, 5 feet 11 inches, about 160 pounds, with blond or strawberry blond hair, blue eyes, and a heart tattoo on his left arm. The Santa Cruz Police Department is investigating.

If anyone knew Michael, his routines, or saw his car in early 2005, can you share what you remember?
