Dozens join search party to find missing man in Oakland County, $1,000 reward offered

Not a whole lot to go on regarding this man. No idea if he has a car, a job, what the circumstances are surrounding his disappearance. Very frustrating.

His fb (last post Jan 20): Creg PuttinGodfirst Lyles

ETA: He appears to be in a relationship. I wonder if his disappearance is connected.

I saw the report about the missing man on WDIV news at 6:00 last night. A pair of bloody boots that might have belonged to Creg were found during the search. Doesn't sound good

"He kept in contact with his family every day - he was actually the glue to his family," said SD, the victim's aunt.

A pair of bloody boots was found and given to police after days of searching around The River's Edge Apartments where he lived.

Canine officers were brought in to search, but no Creg.

[...]

Sources close to the situation say that a man was brought into custody, in connection to Creg's disappearance - held on a parole violation, for now.

Investigators aren't confirming much of anything.

Oh no. He seems like the sweetest.

Is the man in custody known to Creg?

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

Has anyone seen or heard updates on Creg Lyles? Presumably, he's still missing. I live in Oakland County (where Creg lives) and haven't seen or heard any local news about this case for weeks.

Not sure if this was posted previously, but this appears to be Creg's Twitter account. He joined in 2010 but there have been no entries since 2014. Creg Lyles (@Ceelyles) / Twitter
