Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP35680) and 15 other sources
Michael Golub, a 27-year-old man from Stanton County, Kansas, was last seen on May 20, 2005. He had been involved in a custody dispute with his ex-girlfriend, Shannon Floyd, over their son, which added tension to his life in the time leading up to his disappearance. On the day he vanished, Michael had gone to Floyd’s residence to pick up their son. According to reports, this was the last time anyone saw him.

Michael's vehicle, a maroon pickup truck, was found abandoned near the Floyd residence. His cell phone was also discovered inside the vehicle, raising suspicions about foul play. Despite extensive searches and investigations, no trace of Michael has been found, and he remains classified as missing under suspicious circumstances.

Floyd and her then-boyfriend, Charles Crawford, became persons of interest early in the investigation due to their contentious relationship with Golub and inconsistencies in their statements. Over time, the case has garnered significant attention, but no charges have been filed, and Golub’s disappearance remains unsolved.

Investigators believe foul play is likely, given the circumstances surrounding his disappearance and the ongoing custody battle. However, without more concrete evidence or a body, the case has stalled, leaving his family without answers nearly two decades later. Anyone with information is urged to contact local authorities.
