Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP79013) and 5 other sources
Michael Kim, a 32-year-old man, was last seen on April 30, 1994, in Los Angeles, California. Prior to his disappearance, Michael informed his brother that he had sold his business and planned to go on a short vacation. Shortly after, Michael moved in with his girlfriend, Kyung Mi Futhey. Mysteriously, both Michael and Kyung went missing around the same time, and neither has been seen or heard from since.

Michael Kim, also known as Sang Chul Kim, stood 5'8" tall and weighed approximately 160 pounds. He had black hair and brown eyes. The case has left few leads, and there has been little information regarding the circumstances surrounding their disappearance. Despite investigations by local law enforcement, the disappearance of both Michael and Kyung remains unsolved, leaving their families without answers for decades.

The Los Angeles Police Department continues to seek information regarding their whereabouts, and both cases are still open.
