Michigan college student vanishes during ‘absolute blizzard’ after leaving bar and looking ‘disoriented’
A desperate search was launched for a missing Michigan college student last seen looking ‘disoriented’ after leaving a bar during a weekend snowstorm, according to authorities.
Northern Michigan University student Trenton Massey was spotted on video in Marquette just before 3:20 a.m. local time on Sunday while appearing “to be disoriented and having difficulty walking,” the Marquette Police Department said.

It was roughly 20 degrees when the 21-year-old student disappeared, and snow had been falling in the area for the past several days, Christopher Aldrich, the Captain of Detectives of the Marquette Police Department, told People.
He may have been disoriented because he was drinking alcohol earlier in the night, and may have been affected by the frigid temperatures, Aldrich said.
“At this point, we are still actively looking for him,” the police official told the outlet.
Hundreds joined a search party to find Massey, including NMU student Ryder Amesbury, WLUC reported.
Amesbury met Massey at a bar on the night he vanished, then woke up only to discover a picture of the fellow Wildcat as a missing person.
“It’s scary,” Amesbury told the outlet.
“It was an absolute blizzard that night. Like, I walked home, and I got lost walking home. So, it’s horrible to hear and obviously see, but it’s amazing to see how many people came out here to help search for him.”
