WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. – This month marks two years since 33-year-old Creg Lyles vanished from Waterford Township.

The last time anyone heard from Lyles was via text message on Jan. 21, 2021.

“He was just a social butterfly,” his mother Mary Lyles told Local 4 in 2021. “He was a well rounded, loved person.”

Lyles was last known to be at his apartment in Waterford Township.

“He kept our family together,” his family member Shikira Cantrell told Local 4 in 2021. “He was always connected to us in some type of way.”

According to the Searching for Creg Lyles Facebook group, there is a $12,500 reward being offered in this case.

So there's no suspect, but Creg's friend who he was last seen with, refuses to talk to police about his disappearance. One possible scenario seems far more probable than others.

Noting:

One item would become a key piece of evidence: Creg Lyles’ truck, which Butler was seen driving around the streets of Pontiac for days after his boyfriend was last seen.

Bartle said his team examined many kinds of evidence, including cell phones, watches, car computers, satellite imagery and video surveillance.

“Unfortunately, specific to the car, the data that is contained within the car only goes back to about two or three days before we met with Mike,” Bartle said.

The family said earlier this year, detectives told them Creg Lyles would never be found.
