Michael Emmanuel, 80, was last seen at about 6:45 a.m. on Friday, February 19, 2021, at the Canebrake Apartments in Frederiksted, St. Croix. Known as Dodor, he is a Black man with a dark brown complexion, brown eyes, black hair, 5 feet 5 inches tall and about 150 pounds. At the time he disappeared he was wearing brown-striped pajama pants and a white vest, and had no shoes.

Authorities and volunteers mounted an extensive, multi-day search after concerns that Emmanuel may have been suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Search areas included the Canebrake Apartments, Estate Whim, William’s Delight and shoreline stretches from Carlton to Sandy Point; drones were used and police followed a tip that he was seen getting into a white truck. A reward was offered and later raised to $3,200 with community contributions; the U.S. Virgin Islands Police Department continues to ask for information. Case number 21A01330.

If anyone in Frederiksted remembers seeing Michael that morning or has information about the white truck tip, please come forward.
