Michael Nicholas Celli, 23, went missing on May 19, 2018, from Port Penn, Delaware. He was last seen in the Delaware River near the Reedy Point Bridge. According to reports, Celli had been swimming in the river's marshlands when he disappeared. His vehicle, a black 2006 Honda Accord, was found abandoned on Route 9, just south of the bridge, which heightened concerns about his safety. Despite extensive searches of the area, no trace of him has been found, and he is presumed to have drowned.
Celli is described as a Caucasian male, approximately 6 feet tall, weighing 125 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a burgundy long-sleeved shirt, gray sweatpants, white socks, and brown slippers. His case has been classified as "Lost/Injured Missing," with authorities considering the possibility that he may have been swept away by the strong currents in the river. Despite the presumed drowning, no body has been recovered, and his disappearance remains unsolved.
Investigators and family members continue to hope for new leads that might shed light on Celli’s whereabouts. Efforts have been ongoing to gather more information, but so far, the case has not seen significant breakthroughs. The community remains alert, and any tips or sightings are encouraged to be reported to law enforcement.Last Seen: May 19, 2018
