Michael Kenneth Murphy Jr., a 26-year-old Native American man, was last seen on February 23, 2018, at the Palouse Mall in Moscow, Idaho. He was reportedly getting into a vehicle with an unidentified man and has not been heard from since. At the time of his disappearance, Michael was living in Lapwai, Idaho, and frequently traveled to the Lewiston/Clarkston area.
Michael wasn't reported missing until July 2018, several months after his last known sighting.
His family mentioned that he was known to keep in regular contact with them, which made his sudden absence unusual. Complicating efforts to track him, Michael did not typically use credit or debit cards, and his cell phone had no working number.
He is described as 6'2", 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He has several distinctive tattoos, including the word "Moscow" on his right forearm, and tattoos on his calves, left shoulder, and left hand. He also has piercings in his ears and lower lip, and he wears eyeglasses.
The investigation into Michael’s disappearance remains open, but there have been few updates or significant leads. The Idaho State Police and the Nez Perce County Sheriff's Office continue to seek information from the public to help solve the case.Last Seen: Feb 23, 2018
