Michael Steven Godwin was 30 when he disappeared after leaving his home in the Muscadine community of Cleburne County, Alabama, on July 28, 2015. Those who knew him said it was out of character for him to leave without warning. According to a relative, he was dropped off near the Tallapoosa River Bridge on U.S. 78 in Haralson County, Georgia, and was never heard from again.

Michael is described as a white male with brown hair and blue eyes, about 5 feet 8 inches tall and 175 pounds, with distinctive tattoos on his chest and both arms including a spiderweb, a cross, the letter A, and a tribal band. He was wearing an Army-green t-shirt, Army-green cargo pants, and a camouflage-print Alabama baseball cap when last seen. Law enforcement in Alabama and Georgia, including the Cleburne County Sheriff’s Department and the Alabama State Bureau of Investigation, have followed leads but no substantial information has emerged to clarify what happened next.

The direction he traveled after being dropped off is not known, and the lack of firm leads has left his family seeking answers. If anyone has information about Michael’s whereabouts on or after July 28, 2015, please come forward.
