In the late autumn of 1999, a young man named Michael Scott Lattimer, known to his friends and family as Mike, vanished from the small community of Ridgeway, Ohio. Eighteen at the time, Michael was last seen on November 23rd. On the day he disappeared, he had made plans to finalize the purchase of a vehicle by picking up the title. However, Michael never completed this errand and was never seen or heard from again. A family acquaintance grew concerned and reported him missing later that same day. His disappearance left his family with unanswered questions and a void that has spanned decades. The circumstances surrounding Michael's disappearance were complicated by the fact that he was scheduled to be a witness in an ongoing criminal case. While it remains unclear if his role as a witness is directly connected to his vanishing, this detail has been a significant point of interest for investigators over the years. The case he was involved in was eventually dismissed following his disappearance. Despite the passage of time, the Logan County Sheriff's Office has continued to actively investigate Michael's case, following up on any leads they receive in the hope of providing closure for his loved ones. Over the years, the investigation into Michael Lattimer's disappearance has seen various efforts to uncover the truth. Detectives have received tips and have explored different avenues in their search for him. In December of 2023, investigators even conducted a dig at a site in northern Logan County based on information they had received, though it did not lead to a discovery. The case has been marked by the reluctance of some individuals to come forward with information, with detectives noting that some witnesses expressed fear of retaliation. The disappearance of Michael Lattimer remains an unsolved case, a painful mystery for his parents and a somber chapter in the history of the local community. The official investigation continues, with law enforcement still appealing to the public for any information that might finally shed light on what happened to the young man who went to pick up a car title and never came home.
