February 2024

Two months after he moved to the U.S., Angela revealed that he had gone missing. “Michael’s been missing since [February] 23. The police are involved, we can’t find him,” she said in a TikTok video on February 26, 2024. “Michael left everything here. I know that there’s people probably think, ‘Oh, maybe he just left.’ But like, nothing not any ID, nothing to show his name on it, no clothing, not a toothbrush. Zero point zero zero. No wallet, nothing. Clothes on his back is what he left with on Friday.”

That same day, Angela and 90 Day Fiancé blogger John Yates confirmed that Michael was found safe. John revealed that Angela received a phone call from the police after they went live on YouTube.

“[The police] were contacted by Michael. They verified it with him,” John continued. “He did have a burner phone or another phone that nobody knew about and on that phone, he had pictures of his passport that he left. They verified his ID. It’s him.”

John also noted that police told Angela that Michael was “in fear of his life” and didn’t want her to know where he was.
