Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP106983) and 1 other source
In the city of Scranton, Pennsylvania, a 63-year-old man named Michael Frazier went about his day on December 30, 2022, unaware it would be the last time he was seen by those who knew him. Michael is a Black / African American male, standing approximately 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing around 160 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. His disappearance has left a void in his community, a sudden and unexplained absence that began with the most ordinary of tasks. On that Friday, he left his residence with the simple intention of going to a local store, a routine errand that tragically marked the beginning of an ongoing mystery.

The circumstances surrounding Michael's disappearance are particularly unsettling due to their everyday nature. He was not known to be embarking on a long journey or to have any reason to sever contact with his life in Scranton. The simple act of leaving home for a local store is one undertaken by countless people every day, which makes his failure to return all the more alarming. No information has been made public regarding what he was wearing or which specific store he intended to visit. This lack of detail has deepened the uncertainty for those searching for him, leaving them to wonder what could have happened in the short span of time between leaving his home and his intended destination.

The Scranton Police Department opened an investigation into Michael's case, which is identified by the case number MP106983. As time continues to pass, the questions surrounding that December day remain unanswered. The overview of this case is one of sudden and complete disappearance from a familiar routine. A man left his home for a short errand and vanished without a trace, creating a painful and unresolved situation for his family and community. The search for Michael Frazier continues, fueled by the hope that someone might have information that could help bring him home.
