WI WI - Michael Dennis Small, 27, Milwaukee - MP29102 - 28 July 1980

After receiving the file, I can clear this up. He was not in chapel hill, never was - the family or the police got it wrong. It’s incorrect. He was in camp hill, I was able to determine by the hospital where he was staying.

No wonder we can't find anybody when they go missing, they're not where they're supposed to be. lol. Ok, we now know a little more than before. So, August 1, 1980, would be the last date of contact at Penn State Health Holy Spirit Medical Center, Camp Hill, Cumberland County, PA., which is about 20 miles east of Carlisle, PA. Maybe they can change the incorrect information.

Carlisle has several hospitals, and, if an emergency occurred in Carlisle, it wouldn't make sense to send someone to Camp Hill, 20 miles away. So, it's a given that his emergency occurred in Camp Hill. So, he was keeping in contact with his mother as he traveled west, or, his mother was his emergency contact and the hospital called her for that reason.

Too bad we don't know why he was in the hospital and whether he was there inpatient or outpatient. Interesting, too, that the hospital would call his mother. He was 27 years old, after all. Maybe he left against medical advice and they were concerned about his well-being?

So, he leaves home July 28 with just his clothes on his back after stating he was going to New York to live and four days later he ends up in a hospital. I wonder if he had mental issues?

Yes, I asked the police officer in charge to correct the info. I think his mom was his emergency contact because his father was deceased.

Clothes on his back and his whole savings of $600 per some reports. And he is aiming for New York but ended up in Pennsylvania in the hospital. Very odd indeed.

He left home on his birthday to move to New York. I wonder if this was at the end of a family fight. Not asking for info, just wondering what happened.

Does anyone want to do an open records request to the Camp Hill police for that date and a few days before and after? He might’ve been brought to the hospital due to an incident where police got involved?

Here's the applicable rules. https://www.pa.gov/content/dam/copa...AgencyPolicyRTKLAgencyPolicy11292011_PSP4.pdf

It'll cost money, and given the age, they'd probably have to go by hand through the records, and I'm not sure they would be willing. Milwaukee gave a lot of pushback for anything that didn't have a case number.
