Not much info on this one.

Per NamUS:
The missing person, Michael Duke, was last seen on 5/15/2021, at approximately 5:30 p.m., in Waukesha, Wisconsin. He left unexpectedly in the middle of his work shift at Taco John's. He was on foot at the time and does not own a vehicle.
Wearing black khaki pants and a Taco Johns t-shirt and cap. Carrying a black High Sierra backpack. Black non skid Sketchers shoes.
 
This certainly looks like him - name and city are correct. How did he go from a long history as a IT data specialist to working in a fast food restaurant? Layoffs? Illness? Something had to be going on in his life that might be a key to his disappearance. https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-duke-234ba819a
 
I'll link you to the Wisconsin circuit court page (public) with all of his history. Was simply trying to not do anything inappropriate by avoiding linking it, but NOT linking it was wrong (post was removed so I'm doing it right, this time).

Wisconsin Circuit Court Access

1 946.42(3)(a) Escape-Criminal Arrest Felony H Charge Dismissed but Read In

That is simply one charge, which was filed after his disappearance. (5/18, he went missing 5/15). There are numerous other cases with charges such as Misappropriate ID Info - Obtain Money [Modifiers: Habitual Criminality].

So since he's misappropriated ID in the past, we can assume he might be living under another identity since skipping town. That was the bulk of what I was trying to say to help find him.

Looking at the court records in the link you provided, it looks like he has appeared in court, in person, a few times between October and December 2021.
 
Great find, thank you! This one was driving me crazy. I've come across several cases that have been resolved, but are still in NamUs. It's quite frustrating!

He unfortunately did not face legal consequences:
