Canton authorities are urgently searching for a man reported missing after being last seen near the downtown area. The individual, 45-year-old Michael Thompson, was last observed near Main Street on Monday evening, raising concerns among his family and friends.
Michael is described as being 6 feet tall, with a medium build, brown hair, and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a gray jacket and jeans. His family reported him missing after he did not return home and failed to answer repeated calls and messages.
The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office is spearheading the search operation. Deputies have been combing the area, interviewing witnesses, and examining surveillance footage from nearby businesses in an effort to trace Michael’s movements. Despite their efforts, no significant leads have emerged.
“We urge anyone who might have seen Michael or has any information about his whereabouts to contact us immediately,” said Deputy Sheriff Alan Roberts. “Any piece of information, no matter how small, could be vital in finding him and ensuring his safety.”
The search has also mobilized volunteer teams to assist the deputies. Flyers featuring Michael’s photo and description have been distributed throughout the community and shared widely on social media to expand the search and raise public awareness.
Michael’s family is extremely concerned and has appealed to the public for help. “We just want Michael home safely. If anyone knows anything, please contact the authorities,” pleaded his sister, Karen Thompson.
