Details: Twenty-five-year-old Michael Rosenblum began experimenting with drugs while in high school. He became a heavy user of a prescription pain killer that altered his moods and made him erratic and irritable. Despite his drug problems, he retained the strong support and love of his family. However, during the early '80s, the form of discipline known as "tough love" became widely used. After several attempts to get him help, his parents, Maurice and Barbara, finally banished him from the family home in Baldwin, Pennsylvania, on February 13, 1980. Barbara did this after she found a bottle of painkillers in his room. He left that night in a car driven by his girlfriend, Lisa. Barbara told him not to come back until he was off drugs.
The next day, Michael woke up with a severe drug hangover, and Lisa took him to the hospital. However, he refused to be treated. They left the hospital and went to a nearby gas station in West Homestead. According to Lisa, he became increasingly agitated. He then told her that he needed to borrow her car and left her stranded at the station. He also told her to go to Maurice and Barbara's home and that he'd meet her there in two hours. Michael did not arrive there and was never seen by his family or friends again.
Maurice and Barbara waited all night for a phone call from Michael. However, it never came. Barbara did not believe he would vanish voluntarily because he left behind money in his bank accounts and clothes in his closet. His family filed a missing person's report the next day. The police soon began searching for Lisa's missing car, as they felt it would lead them to him. Two weeks later, it had still not been found, so Maurice decided to start his own investigation into Michael's disappearance. He offered a reward for information, posted fliers, and traveled as far as California to talk with friends of Michael He hoped to find him and get him off of drugs for good; sadly, that never happened.
Three months later on May 21, the Baldwin Borough Police Department notified Lisa that her car had been impounded. According to official records, it had been in a lot since the day Michael vanished. Maurice could not understand how the police department had it in its possession for three months and did not realize it. A Baldwin police dispatcher was contacted by the Pittsburgh police when they searched for it, but no one can say whether the information was officially circulated.
Maurice learned that the car had been found on River Road, which connected Baldwin to the South Side of Pittsburgh. It was located by Baldwin police officers just two hours after Michael was last seen. Two of the tires were flat, the keys were gone, and the engine was cooled. However, there was no trace of Michael. Fifteen minutes later, the car was towed to the Baldwin Borough car pound, where it remained for three months. Pittsburgh investigators believed that the delay seriously jeopardized their investigation.
The Pittsburgh Police Department went to Baldwin to determine why there was a delay. Baldwin's police department claimed that they mailed Lisa a letter about the car a day after Michael vanished. However, she claimed she never received it. When they produced a copy of it she still claimed that she never received it. Maurice believed that it was just one part of an elaborate cover-up by the Baldwin police regarding Michael's disappearance.
