Family of missing man hires private investigator to help with search efforts Relatives, police, private investigator still searching for Michael McKenney By Jessica Schmidt | May 5, 2021 at 9:04 AM EDT - Updated May 5 at 9:04 AM FAIRFIELD TOWNSHIP, OH (FOX19) - Almost a year after a Fairfield Township man disappeared, police continue to search for him, while his family members hope a fresh set of eyes will help the investigation. Although they have searched a lake in Lindenwald, examined pieces of evidence and looked through his car, nearly a year after Michael McKenney vanished, investigators have not found him. McKenney’s mother Yolanda Middleton said her son disappeared in May 2020 while he was staying with his aunt. His vehicle was later found abandoned at Hueston Woods in Butler County, a place the 29-year-old frequented.
