Michael Sills, a 63-year-old pilot from Winter Garden, Florida, was last seen on September 11, 2012. His disappearance occurred under troubling circumstances, as Sills had recently broken up with his girlfriend and sent her alarming text messages that day. In these texts, Sills threatened to crash his plane, a Piper PA-28-181, into her home. One message ominously stated, "Calling police is too late." Authorities later found his truck at the Orlando-Apopka Airport, but both he and his plane were missing.
The investigation revealed that Sills' phone last pinged near Zellwood, Florida, a location not far from the airport where his plane had departed. Further signs of distress were uncovered, with indications that Sills may have attempted suicide, as there was evidence of a possible attempt in his vehicle. Despite extensive searches by local authorities, the FAA, and the FBI, neither Sills nor his aircraft has been located. His disappearance is believed to be a suicide, though his body and plane remain missing, and the case remains unsolved.
