The Disappearance of Michael McClain

Michael McClain has been missing since April 21st, 2019. 

The then-29-year-old lived in Manchester, New Hampshire at the time of his disappearance, but he was last seen at a nightclub in nearby Nashua. Michael was at the club with friends when a fight broke out between two women. He reportedly knew one of the women, and he attempted to break up the fight when it escalated outside of the building. 

Police arrived on the scene shortly thereafter, which led the crowd of people to disperse in different directions. At that point, Michael's friends became separated from him. Michael's last known contact occurred shortly after the crowd dispersed. He called his boss shortly before 2:00 AM and stated, "They're after me. More than one." When his boss tried to call him back, there was no answer. 

Michael also sent three texts to a friend, stating "HELP LOL OUR”, “what stood aloof”, and “Eldridge bro”. The last text seemingly referenced Eldrige Street, which is located near the nightclub. Michael's friends reportedly attempted to find him and/or get in touch with him for the next 45 minutes to no avail. 

Michael's friends went home afterwards, hoping that Michael would eventually return to his friend's house to retrieve his car. He never did, nor did he ever return to his own home. Michael's loved ones have never seen or heard from him again.

After Michael was reported missing, it was determined that he was sighted one last time around 3:30 AM. At that time, surveillance cameras at the Riverfront Landing Apartment complex captured him entering and exiting the parking garage. This is the last confirmed sighting of Michael; his whereabouts after exiting the parking garage remain unknown to this day.

Michael's loved ones do not believe he is missing on his own accord. Both his bank and social media accounts have been inactive since his disappearance. Investigators have theorized that Michael might have drowned in the nearby Merrimack River. His family does not believe this to be true as they stated Michael was a strong swimmer. A search of the area has not turned up Michael's body.

Michael remains missing today. His case is being investigated by the Nashua Police Department. If you have any information that could lead to Michael's whereabouts, please contact authorities at (603) 594-3583.

Fundraiser Friday 1/08/21

This week I'll be featuring two cases for Fundraiser Friday.  Please share these stories and consider donating!

Christian Muse

Christian Muse disappeared at the age of 19 on July 15th, 2012. He was last seen in the Glass Manor area of Oxon Hill, Maryland. Christian never returned home, and he has never been seen or heard from again. Nine months later, Christian's father Michael Muse was contacted by a DC Police detective who was investigating a separate case that might be linked to Christian. In a time before Christian vanished, he was reportedly exploited by a group of adults who ran a child trafficking ring. There's a possibility that this is linked to his disappearance. Christian's father has created a GoFundMe page in hopes to raise the reward money in the case. [fundraiser link] [full case write-up]
