The Macomb County Sheriff's Office is seeking public help locating Anthony Wells, a 36-year-old Mount Clemens man last seen at the end of July, CBS Detroit reported. The sheriff's office says Wells is known to frequent Chesterfield Township and Clinton Township.
According to the CBS News report, Wells is described as about 6 feet tall with an average build, and he may have long hair and a beard. Deputies have not released further details about what he was wearing or the specific circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
Where Deputies Believe He May Turn Up
Chesterfield Township and Clinton Township are the areas the sheriff's office has identified as places Wells is known to frequent. The information released does not give a more specific location where he was last seen.
The reported information does not explain the circumstances of Wells's disappearance.
Michigan Law and Missing-Person Resources
Michigan law bars agencies from having policies that prevent an immediate investigation, as soon as practical, for missing people covered by the statute, according to the Michigan Legislature. The information released about Wells does not establish whether he falls within the statute's listed categories. The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) says its resources allow families to enter and search missing-person case information and connect with criminal-justice professionals. This does not establish whether Wells has a NamUs listing.
How to Help
Anyone with information on Wells's whereabouts is asked to call the Macomb County Sheriff's Office at 586-307-9412. Tips from residents in Chesterfield Township, Clinton Township, or Mount Clemens could prove especially useful given his ties to those areas.
