Missing Since: 2004-09-01 Location: Fitchburg, Massachusetts
David disappeared from Fitchburg, Massachusetts on September 1, 2004. When his mother saw him that morning, he gave her his necklace and earrings and said he had football practice after school. He did attend school that day, but never showed up for football practice, which is uncharacteristic of his behavior. He never returned home and has never been heard from again. Authorities believe he left of his own accord and may be with a friend, Matthew Michaud, who is seven years older. Michaud had reportedly disappeared from Fitchburg six months earlier, on March 1. He was a former roommate of David’s mother’s cousin, and had known David since David was about ten or eleven years old. Michaud is reportedly gang-affiliated, but David is not. David may still be in the local area, or he may be in Boston, Massachusetts. There has been no indication of his or Michaud’s whereabouts since 2004.
