Michael L. Shackelford, 53, was last seen in St. Louis, Missouri, on October 15, 2019. He was known to be working at an auto salvage yard and doing roofing jobs in Kinloch, Missouri, at the time. The St. Louis County Police Department is handling the case.

Shackelford is described as a Black male with black hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, and weighing 170 to 180 pounds. Family and friends say he often went long stretches without in-person contact but normally kept regular phone contact; all communication stopped after October 15, 2019. No information in the case indicates a specific medical or mental health condition that might explain his disappearance. The disappearance was reported to police on March 1, 2020, and few other details are available.

Does anyone who knew Michael or saw him in St. Louis or Kinloch around mid-October 2019 have information to share with the St. Louis County Police Department?
