Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP104965) and 1 other source
In the summer of 2021, a 57-year-old man named Mikoyan Von Dyke vanished from his home in Phoenix, Arizona. He was a Black / African American male, standing at a height of five feet seven inches and weighing around 160 pounds. Mr. Von Dyke had black hair and brown eyes. His disappearance was unsettling for those who knew him, as it was out of character for him to leave without a word. The last confirmed sighting of him was on July 8, 2021. After this date, a concerning silence fell, and the familiar presence of Mikoyan Von Dyke was gone.

The alarm was first raised by a neighbor who noticed his absence. Living in the vicinity of North Black Canyon Freeway and West Glenrosa Avenue, Mr. Von Dyke was a part of the local community. When days turned into an extended period without any sign of him, his neighbor's concern grew, prompting them to report him missing. According to the report filed with the Phoenix Police Department, Mikoyan left his residence and simply never came back. There was no indication of where he might have gone or if he had planned to be away. The circumstances surrounding his departure were, and remain, troublingly vague.

The official investigation into the disappearance of Mikoyan Von Dyke was opened, with the Phoenix Police Department taking the lead. His case, number 202100001166673, was entered into national databases for missing persons. Despite these efforts, information about his whereabouts has been scarce. There were no specific articles of clothing or accessories noted that he was wearing at the time he went missing, nor was there any information about his mode of transportation. The case is a quiet one, lacking the significant public details that often accompany such events. The overview of the case is one of a sudden and unexplained absence, leaving a void and many unanswered questions for those who are concerned for his welfare.
