Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP51117) and 1 other source
In the community of Cordova, Tennessee, a suburb of Memphis, 57-year-old Michael Blackwell vanished on March 11, 2016. On that day, he was reportedly seen getting into a car with an unknown individual, and has not been heard from or seen since. At the time of his disappearance, it was known that he was experiencing a significant amount of stress due to both financial and legal troubles he was facing. His case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System on July 12, 2018.

Michael is described as a white male with brown hair and green eyes. He stood at 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighed approximately 220 pounds. There is no public information available regarding the clothing he was wearing on the day he was last seen, nor are there any details about any personal belongings he may have had with him. The lack of specific details about the vehicle he entered or the person he was with has made the investigation into his disappearance particularly challenging for the Memphis Police Department, who are the primary agency handling his case.

Years have passed since Michael Blackwell was last seen, and his disappearance remains unsolved. The circumstances surrounding his case, particularly his known financial and legal issues, have led to concerns for his well-being. Despite the passage of time, his case remains open, leaving his family and community without answers. The investigation into what happened to Michael Blackwell continues, with law enforcement still seeking any information that could lead to his whereabouts and provide closure to those who are waiting for him to come home.
