Michelle Rose Bernstein-Schultz, 36, disappeared from her apartment in Phoenix, Arizona, on June 29, 2022. She was last known to be in the area of North 40th Street and East Greenway Road and sent a text that stopped abruptly at 4:03 p.m., the last confirmed contact. Her boyfriend reported her missing the next day, saying she had not been feeling well, asked not to be disturbed, and was gone by morning with her bed unused.

Family members say it is out of character for Michelle to leave without notice. Her car keys, wallet, credit cards, driver’s license, cell phone, and her dog Ava were all left in the apartment. Investigators have said they found no evidence of foul play; the family points to other odd details, including an uncollected $2,500 settlement check at her lawyer’s office and a distinctive bedazzled bumblebee cup left behind. She is described as having black, short-cropped hair, possibly with some gray, hazel eyes, and may have been wearing gray hiking sandals with fluorescent green highlights and carrying a dark blue hiking backpack.

Her disappearance remains an active missing person investigation. Did anyone in the Phoenix area see Michelle or Ava around June 29, 2022?
