MARQUETTE, Mich. (WZMQ) – Police are asking for the public’s help in locating a missing person.
The Marquette Police Department is searching for 21-year-old Trenton Massey, who was last seen at approximately 3:08 a.m. on February 22, walking alone eastbound on the bike path between Seventh and Fifth Streets. Massey was recorded on video at 3:25am in the area of East Baraga Avenue and the Founder’s Landing Boardwalk. Massey appeared to be disoriented and having difficulty walking. He was wearing an olive green and black winter coat and black pants.
Massey may have been impaired and disoriented at the time of his disappearance and not dressed adequately for prolonged winter exposure. He is considered endangered due to the risks associated with hypothermia.
Massey may have been attempting to walk to his home on McMillan Street. He is described as 5’11” and 225 pounds, with brown eyes and reddish-brown hair.
On Monday, the Marquette Police Department stated that the search for Massey continues with the help of the Marquette County Sheriff’s Office, citizens, and other emergency services organizations.
