In the winter of 2017, concern grew for 51-year-old Michael Sean Grant after he was last seen in Laurinburg, North Carolina. On December 27, 2017, a caregiver dropped him off at his residence on Sanders Road, and that was the last time he was reportedly seen. His family officially reported him missing on December 22nd after he failed to check in with them, which they described as being unusual for him. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a dark-colored shirt and black pants that had bleach stains. Distinctive features included having both upper and lower dentures.
The Scotland County Sheriff's Office became involved, and a Silver Alert was issued due to concerns about his well-being, as he was known to have schizophrenia. Investigators learned that prior to his disappearance, Grant had been at a gathering at a group home on John's Road. Authorities reached out to his family in New Jersey, who confirmed they had not had any contact with him. Efforts by his family, friends, and law enforcement to locate him were unsuccessful in the days and weeks that followed.
This missing person case is no longer considered active, as Michael Sean Grant has been located alive. While the specific details and date of his discovery are not widely available, the official status of his case has been updated to reflect that he is no longer missing. The circumstances surrounding his time away and his eventual reunion with his community remain private. This case serves as a reminder of the many individuals who go missing and the importance of community awareness, and in this instance, concludes with the positive outcome of a person being found.
