Michael Ray Copeland was 37 years old when he was last seen in Shreveport, Louisiana, on May 17, 2016. He was in the 400 block of Topeka Street at the time of his disappearance and has not been heard from since. At the time he went missing, Copeland was experiencing homelessness. His family became deeply concerned when they had no contact with him, which was unusual as he would typically reach out, especially if he was in need of financial assistance. It wasn't until May 28, 2019, that he was officially reported as a missing person to the Shreveport Police Department.

Copeland is a white male with blond hair and blue or green eyes. At the time he went missing, he was described as being between 5'10' and 6'1' tall and weighing between 150 and 160 pounds. He has several distinct physical characteristics, including the amputation of his left arm at the shoulder. He also has a tattoo of barbed wire on his right arm. When he was last seen, the clothing he was wearing was unknown. His family's concern for his welfare has been a driving force in the ongoing investigation into his whereabouts.

The investigation into Michael Copeland's disappearance is being handled by the Shreveport Police Department. The circumstances surrounding his case remain limited, with few details available to the public. Despite the passage of time, his family remains hopeful for answers. The case is a poignant reminder of the many individuals who go missing each year, leaving behind families searching for information and closure. The lack of contact and the unusual nature of his silence are central to the mystery of his disappearance.
