On a summer day, a then 30-year-old man named Michael 'Steven' Godwin left his home in the Muscadine community of Cleburne County, Alabama, and was never heard from again. The date was July 28, 2015, and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear, leaving his family and community with unanswered questions. It has been noted by those who know him that it is out of character for him to leave without any warning.
At the time he went missing, he was with his cousin, who stated that he dropped Michael off near the Tallapoosa River Bridge on U.S. 78 in Haralson County, Georgia.
In the time since he was last seen, law enforcement agencies, including the Cleburne County Sheriff's Department and the Alabama State Bureau of Investigation, have pursued various leads in both Alabama and Georgia. Despite these efforts, no substantial information has emerged to clarify what happened to Michael Godwin. His case is listed in national missing persons databases, a silent testament to a life interrupted.
Michael is described as a white male with brown hair and blue eyes. At the time of his disappearance, he was approximately 5'8' tall and weighed around 175 pounds. He has several distinctive tattoos on his chest and both arms, including a spiderweb, a cross, the letter 'A,' and a tribal band. When he was last seen, he was wearing an Army-green t-shirt, Army-green cargo pants, and a camouflage-print Alabama baseball cap. The investigation into Michael Godwin's disappearance remains active, a continuous search for a man who seemingly vanished after being dropped off by a relative. The lack of concrete leads has made this a difficult case for investigators, and the unknown details of his direction of travel after being dropped off leave a void in the timeline of events.Last Seen: Jul 28, 2015
