Michael May, 45, has been missing from the Paradise Bay area since Jan. 14.
A 45-year-old man has been missing from the Paradise Bay area, near Port Ludlow, since Jan. 14, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.
Michael May, a Seattle resident who owns property in Port Ludlow with his wife, Judy Hugueley-May, left the couple’s Seattle home about 9 a.m. Saturday to spend time by himself at the couple’s Port Ludlow recreational property at 31 E. Alder Street, deputies said.
Hugueley-May told officials he had received family related news several days earlier that had upset him, and on Saturday night had a telephone conversation with him that caused her to be concerned for his safety.
After hearing nothing further from her husband that night, Hugueley-May contacted a neighbor near the Port Ludlow address to check on him. The neighbor found May’s van in the driveway and entered the unlocked back door of their trailer. May’s wallet, car keys and watch were on the kitchen counter, officials said.
Hugueley-May drove to Port Ludlow to try to find her husband, and called the sheriff’s office when she could not. Several deputies searched for May Saturday night, Sunday and Monday, but he has not been located.
May is 6 feet, 3 inches tall and weighs about 208 pounds. He has a large, bushy mustache and usually wears a baseball hat to cover his balding head. He was last seen wearing jeans, white tennis shoes and a black, hooded sweatshirt, officials said.
Although there is no evidence of a crime, the sheriff’s office has registered May as a missing person. There are no other leads. Anyone with information about May can contact the sheriff’s office at 360-385-3831.
