In October of 2009, 17 year old Michael Lee had come home to Oregon after travelling the west coast. Michael was close with his mother and kept in regular contact with her by phone, and was always home for the holidays. Michael was supposed to contact his mother to get details about an upcoming memorial service for his grandmother but she never heard from him, which is unusual because Michael seemed excited to be able to reconnect with family at the service. Michael didn’t show up to the family memorial service and he hasn’t been seen at the Eugene bus station where he used to play his guitar for others, and he hasn’t been in contact with his mother with is highly unusual for him. The search for Michael Lee has been ongoing for over a decade but Michael has not been located. Michael Lee would be in his late 20’s today. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) has created an age progression photo showing what Michael, who goes by Mike, may look like today (see picture with NCMEC branding on bottom left). Michael is described as a white male standing approximately 6 feet tall and weighing between 180 and 230 pounds with dark blond hair that he sometimes dyes black. He has naturally olive colored skin, light blue eyes, and is known to wear his hair just above the shoulder. Michael’s mom says that he has naturally large hands and feet, and he wears a size 14 shoe. While Michael is known to travel, it is unusual for him not to have contact with his family.
