Case Information
Mike is a 2 tour war veteran. He was out with a group of friends from out of town staying at the Quality Inn at 901 Aviation Blvd. They went out to underground bar to watch the fights, they then went to go to American Junkie on 68 pier avenue. While waiting in line Mike went to go to Robert's Liquor Store. That was roughly 10:15pm. Mike's phone was dead so they got separated. Friends say he never came back to the hotel and his car was there when they left the next morning.
I have read quite a bit about this particular case, the last real updates occurred 3 years ago.
