Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Michel was last seen at a bus stop in the 2800 block of Maple Street in Los Angeles, California on January 19, 2013. She left the Casa India Restaurant on 4th and Broadway at 10:00 p.m. and was last seen waiting for a bus, alone, about two hours later. She never arrived home and has never been heard from again.
Michel's family was under the impression that she worked part-time at the Casa India Restaurant. It wasn't until after she went missing that they learned she was only a customer at the restaurant and had never worked there.
Michel wasn't carrying identification at the time of her disappearance, and she didn't own a cellular phone. She is devoted to her family and it's completely uncharacteristic of her to leave without warning. Her family believes foul play could be a factor in her disappearance. Little information is available in her case.
