Michael A. Winn, known as Blackie, was 56 when he vanished from Chesterfield, Virginia, in the winter of 2021. He was last seen on December 16 at the Chesterfield County Government Complex off Iron Bridge Road after being released on a personal recognizance bond following a DWI arrest. His truck had been impounded, and he left the complex without ID, money, keys, phone, or his dentures.
Courthouse surveillance shows Michael near a pay phone, apparently trying to arrange a ride to Petersburg, but the video glitched and the next frame shows he was gone with no clear direction of travel. His family says he needed glasses to see and did not have them, making use of the pay phone difficult. He missed a court date on December 21 and was reported missing on January 7, 2022. He is described as a white male, brown hair and eyes, 5 feet 8 inches, about 150 pounds, with a tattoo on his upper right arm and normally wearing dentures. He may have been wearing a heavy black and orange quilted flannel jacket and camouflage-print pants.
The Chesterfield County Police Department is investigating; searches have produced no sign of him. If anyone saw Michael around the Chesterfield County Government Complex on December 16, or knows anything about his movements afterward, please share what was seen or heard.
