CLEVELAND (WJW) — Officials are still looking for a Cleveland man who went missing more than 20 years ago.
On Thursday, the Ohio Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation released an age-progression image of what Michael Hodge could look like in 2025. Hodge was 39 years old when he went missing in March 2004, and the new visual shows what he would look like at 61.
BCI said in a statement they hope the new image would bring fresh leads into their ongoing investigation.
“Michael is out there somewhere, and we’ll keep searching until his family gets the answers they deserve,” Attorney General Dave Yost said in a press statement. “If you recognize his face or know anything about his whereabouts, please pick up the phone and call BCI.”
Those who saw him last said Hodge rode off on a bike near West 172nd Street and Puritas Avenue in Cleveland. At the time, he had red hair and was missing four teeth. A distinctive scar on his right forearm depicts a skull with a long tongue, officials confirmed.
Those who may have any information in this case are asked to reach out to BCI at 855-BCI-OHIO (855-224-6446).
