Family received a postcard from him from Florida in 09/1987. The last communication they have had with him was a postcard he sent postmarked 09/12/1987 from Knoxville, TN

Frustratingly little info here! For example, where in Florida was he? Did the postcard mention what he was doing there or with whom? Same thing for Knoxville.

I enhanced Michael's photo with the Remini app

Funny, I live not far from this town and have never heard any mention of the case.

Maybe I can try reaching out to the local paper? Their website has one of those "submit a story suggestion" links, so it's worth a shot. At least let people know about him.

It wouldn't hurt to try! There is so little info on his case so getting an interview with a family member might make the story clearer.

Obituary for Inge FISCHER (Aged 39) - Newspapers.com
I found an article about his mother's death. Her name was Inge Rasmussen Fischer. Her husband's name was Hardy Fischer and they had two kids, Michael and Susanne. She died aged just 39 of cancer.

Mother died 12th August 1984 and he went missing 14th August same year, so sad all round.

Poor kid. Sounds like he just needed to get away after his mothers death, probably overcome with grief. Odd though that he disappeared from the actual funeral. Why didn't he go home with the family? If he left from the funeral then he'd be wearing, presumably, a black suit and have few personal possessions?

Does anyone find it strange that there's no contact for 3 years and then in 87 he sends 2 postcards I quick succession from Florida and Tennessee and then bam..nothing else? It looks vaguely like he was sort of headed East, but who knows to start looking!

Reread mother's obituary and I want to point out that he was living in Vernon, CT at the time. Vernon is about 20min away from Bloomfield. Clearly he was independent and living on his own, but he wasn't far from family.
Why go to Florida? And then Tennessee?

Also can anyone with access to Ancestry try to find more about him? Middle name, DOB, school etc.?
Maybe try to find a yearbook photo too? The ones available are old.

I am in CT and I have never even heard of this case i'm a little familiar with the bloomfield area.
it said he was living in vernon at the time of his mother's death, there were a lot of strange happenings in the tolland vernon rockville area in the 1970s and 1980s several people had gone missing from that area including janice pockett, lisa white, and a few others don't think there is a connection as janice and lisa both went missing in the 1970s janice was 6 or 7 and lisa was a teeanger

So I submitted a match for Michael this morning UP1562. UP1562 was found August 30, 1988 in Knoxville, TN and Michael's last known contact was right around September 12, 1987 when he sent a postcard to his family saying that he was in Knoxville, TN. His age at the time would have been 23 to 24 years old. The height would have been a match as well.

I am in contact with Micheal's family as well through my Locks of Reunification group (wonderful people).

Did his family share any new information about the disappearance?
