45-year-old Michael Clausell has been missing for almost three months now.

On May 13, the Greene County Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol found Clausell's crashed vehicle, but no sign of Clausell anywhere.

Clausell was driving a car that he rented for work, heading southbound on East Enon Road, according to a police report from Ohio State Highway Patrol.

Investigators say that he failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection of Enon and Hyde Roads, when he traveled south off the roadway, went into a ditch, a fence, a tree, and then drove into a field.

Clausell is around six feet tall and weighs 240 to 250 pounds.

There's no indication at this time that alcohol was involved in the crash, but all of Clausell's belongings, like his cell phone, were found inside that rental car.

Case Information Online

I'm not 100% certain it is the missing Michael Claussel however there is only one Michael Claussel, age 45, listed in the White Pages for Columbus and that is Michael D. Claussel. https://www.whitepages.com/name/Michael-Clausell I do wish for missing persons they'd use a full legal name in the missing information.
