Carl John Florian, 79, was found dead in his Eaton Rapids, Michigan, home on Father’s Day, June 20, 2021, after he failed to arrive for a planned family gathering. Authorities determined the death to be a homicide and the Eaton County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation.

A suspect was identified as 23-year-old Andrew Michael Paul, who lived about a mile from Florian’s residence. Paul’s parents had contacted police on the evening of June 19, 2021, reporting that their son returned home with blood on his clothing; a search that night found no victims. Following the discovery of Florian’s body the next day, Paul was arrested and charged with open murder and disinterment and mutilation of a dead body. He was denied bond at arraignment. The motive remains unclear, and authorities did not believe the victim and the suspect were acquainted.

Does anyone have information about Florian’s last movements or the area around his home on June 19–20, 2021?
