Case Information:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Michael R. Montijo<\/strong>, 55, disappeared from Ridgeville, South Carolina<\/a> on January 26, 2020. The dedicated family man and sports enthusiast vanished just one week before watching his favorite football team play in the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Colleton County Sheriff’s Office<\/a> spearheaded the initial missing persons investigation, coordinating extensive regional search efforts. Despite the passage of several years, state authorities and local advocates refuse to let his case go cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case Details:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Michael was last seen by his wife, April, at their residence near Camp Buddy Road in Ridgeville, South Carolina. She departed for her employment shift at 8:00 AM while Michael was resting in bed in his pajamas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she returned home at 8:00 PM, his vehicle remained parked in the yard, but Michael was nowhere to be found. Shockingly, he left behind his keys, wallet, cell phone, and chewing tobacco, which loved ones note is entirely out of character for someone so protective of his personal belongings.<\/p>\n\n\n
