This is also the first I'm reading of this very frustrating, sad, and baffling case. I've read and re-read the thread and looked for recent news and there's nothing to be found. Like others who have posted here, I have a West Islip connection (or had one), a close college friend who is born & raised in WI, and is about the age Michael should be now. I couldn't find anything indicating where Michael went to high school, if not the public schools there is a private school where my friend went. I may have to reconnect with him to see if he knew MT or knew of him.
It appears that LE hasn't commented at all regarding this case asking for help or leads, releasing any information in quite some time. The last official word from Suffolk Cnty Police was what? Over a year ago? Have they not found anything at all? Did the forensics from his car and computer search show nothing at all? Cell phone pings provided no info? His dog was never seen? For something to happen to a solid young man and a pitbull with no witnesses and no trace is pretty significant. His car detailing business + him being a young man makes me think he may have had techy gadgets like GPS in his Jetta... was there ever information released that there were signs of robbery? I can't recall reading if his wallet, ID, credit cards, etc were missing or found.
I apologize for not quoting the post but shortly after Michael went missing, a WS'er called Suffolk PD to inquire about the case and reported back here on the thread.. .again I'm sorry for not including that in my post here. It was the most information we've been able to obtain from authorities yet it was perplexing. I wonder if it would be appropriate to inquire with them again to see if the case is still being worked or if it's gone cold... I hope it's still active and I hope Michael's family gets the answers they deserve.
The dog's presence in this case is particularly strange and upsetting to me, as a dog lover. It raises so many additional questions. It could be worth sending the JVM show an email about Michael's story, as if the case isn't puzzling enough on its own after 2 1/2 years, she may take particular interest in the dog being a dog lover herself.
