Summary based on 3 sources
Michael L. Page was 23 years old when he was last seen in Ripley, California, on November 1, 1996. Other agencies, however, report the date of his disappearance as October 1, 1998, at which time he would have been 25 years old. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear, and he has not been heard from since 1996. His case is classified as an endangered missing person and remains unsolved.

At the time of his disappearance, Page was described as a White male, standing at 5'9" to 5'10" tall and weighing between 155 and 170 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes. Distinctive features include a small scar on his right eyebrow and another near his navel. He may have also had a mustache. The only clothing or accessory mentioned in connection with his disappearance is a wristwatch. It is also noted that Page required medication for an unspecified medical condition.

According to a family member, Page had told his family that he was employed in construction. On the day he went missing, he informed his roommate that he was going for a walk and never returned. There has been no contact with his family since that day. The Blythe Police Department and the Riverside County Sheriff's Department are the investigating agencies for this case.
