PLEASE help Find Michael Tapley!

On Feb. 15, 2008, Michael Tapley left work as a school bus driver in Snowflake, Arizona.  He told his co-workers he was going to relax and work around the house on the 3-day President's Day weekend.  Michael did not return to the job he both needed and loved on Feb. 19th, or ever again. He did not answer his phone or return the many voice mail messages his boss left for him.

Michael's wife of 3 years stated they left Feb. 20th on a trip to Kansas City, MO, to visit her sick mother.  On Feb. 25, Michael's wife allegedly dropped him off at a casino in Kansas City.  He was not there when she went back to get him and she never saw him again.

Michael did not check his ID at the casino (a requirement to enter and play in the state of Missouri) and he was not seen on surveillance videos in the casino.......

You've got to be kidding me! Want to find Michael? Take is wife into a dark shed and interrogate her the old fashioned way, you'll find him in an instant. Mecanics worked on his truck, he was dropped off at a casino, his wife claims they slept in a van in her mothers driveway for three nights and yet not a single person saw this guy in any of those places? What did her mother have to say? Did she state he in fact was there to visit as his wife claims? Of course with the Casey Anthony trial we can see the extent families will go through to flat out lie for one another and/or believe all the crap they shovel. Who handled the actual transfer of the truck? More information is needed in this blurb to even begin figuring out what happened to this guy. Having said that, start with the wife, my feeling is it could start and end with her, another lying witch. He was dead before the 19th., no wonder he didn't return any phone calls to his boss or answer the phone.

I live in Arizona and often spend weekends in the Snowflake area.

I have a different take on this case.  He lived in a "cabin" with no real plumbing, no utilities except perhaps water,  and that is a very odd way to live.  He has a wife he didn't seem to want, a job as a bus driver and a truck he owed payments on.

I think he took off.  He probably has another life.  My father was that age when he disappeared after a huge argument with my mother.  He finally called from a job in Africa four years after he walked out on everything.  My mother's grandfather disappeared years ago out on a sales trip.  Forty years later it is discovered he died at his other family's home.  He lived two lives and nobody knew.  I've also met many people who just walked out of their lives.  It happens often enough.  

I think there should be no action against the wife until it is proved that there has been foul play.  Innocent until proven guilty, and there isn't any proof of foul play.  The Sheriff's department in the county is excellant.
Anyway, thanks for listening.......Katmandu

WOW.... Kat... that's incredible! I've never know anyone who has walked out on their family and you've been surrounded by it.

As for this case, the circumstances surrounding it sure are suspicious. It will be interesting to know where this goes.

During the early 80's I was working in Phoenix and there was this strange man who worked in the trainyard next to my
office. He would offer to help unload boxcars and made good money for it. He would often walk us accountants to our cars in the evening. I learned his story. He woke up in a hospital in Los Angeles with no memory and no id after a extremely violent mugging. His face was heavily disfigured and all he could remember was holding a briefcase. He was wearing a very expensive business suit. He had no memory of anything and the police only knew he was scraped up off the side of the road in LA.
My heart really went out to him, he didn't choose his escape. He always wondered if anyone was looking for him, but he didn't really know even what he looked like before the beating. There wasn't even an internet to advertise missing people back then.
On a lighter note, I met a newspaper publisher in a small town in Alaska who ran away from some "unpleasantness" in New York. He slept on a bearskin in front on a fireplace in his warehouse/newspaper office. He was very cute.
He said many of the town were running away. Bad economic times cause many people to run away.
Whats interesting, I've never met a woman who just disappeared without notice. Either they are rare, or just able to practice discretion.

Nice talking with you!
Kat
