Michael James Mike Snyder, 43, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, disappeared and was later found to have been killed on January 11, 2002. He lived with multiple sclerosis but maintained a job and a marriage despite his health issues. Initially his wife, Ellen Snyder, told investigators he had disappeared and gave a misleading account that included claims he was abusive, possibly gay, and still alive—an account friends and family disputed.

Eight years later a new lead emerged when Ellen’s son from a previous marriage told a friend that Ellen had been responsible for Mike’s disappearance and death. Investigators re-examined the case, identified Ellen Snyder as the primary suspect, and concluded she shot Mike and buried his body. Ellen was later arrested and charged with his murder.

What details do readers remember about Mike’s life in Albuquerque or contacts who might have known him before January 11, 2002?
