Brougham’s wallet with credit cards and identification card still in it was found outside the main gate at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, and his cell phone was used somewhere near there Sunday, Fox said.

Brougham, who is known as Mickey, had told people he might be going to the NASCAR race in Loudon last weekend, Fox said, but his truck and motorcycle were left at home, so if he went there it was with someone else.

I have read that there is speculation by the family / someone in the family as to whether Mr. Broughman was ever really at the race track in Loudon, NH.

I know that there was a large search at the track area using professional searchers. But does anyone know if scent specific dogs were used where Mr. Broughman's wallet was found to ascertain whether or not he was actually at the race track? A trained scent specific trailing dog should be able to confirm or negate that Mr. Broughman was ever there by taking a trail or giving a negative indication of the presence of his scent.

BELCHERTOWN, Mass. (WWLP) - Mickey Brougham of Belchertown hasn't been seen in more than two weeks, but people in his home town aren't giving up on their efforts to find him.

Hundreds of people filled the Belchertown town common on Friday night in support of Brougham's family.

It seemed, reading between the lines on the local news, that the family always were somewhat skeptical that he made it to the racetrack. They said he was probably going there and of course his wallet was there, but something about the way the family was phrasing things made me think they were doubtful.

One month later there's still no sign of Mickey Brougham. His face and description is posted all around his hometown of Belchertown. Police continue to chase every lead.

"It's kind of disturbing, no one has seen him, no one has talked to him, but we're trying to locate anyone from the community who may have seen him," said Belchertown Chief of police Francis Fox.

On the 40th day since Michael R. “Mickey” Brougham disappeared, his family Wednesday doubled to $10,000 the reward for information leading to finding him and urged people to come forward with anything that would help.

“It has been six weeks since our brother and our son has been gone. It is a long six weeks. We continue to feel, strongly, as do most people in town, that somebody knows something,” his sister, Cindy Brown, said.

I was actually coming on here to see if there was a thread about Mickey already. This happened in my hometown. From what I've gathered I believe they are leaning towards the theory that he never actually left town. Or at least not to NH. This one is going to eat at me.

A new search has been organized for Michael "Mickey" Brougham, the 54-year-old from Belchertown, Mass., who was declared missing three months ago after a NASCAR race at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

The weekend of Oct. 1-3, volunteer search-and-rescue crews from across New England will accompany private investigators and local and state authorities to comb about 1.3 miles of wooded area near the Loudon speedway to look for Brougham's body.

Does anyone know if New Hampshire Raceway has been contacted to find out if some sort of mailing to ticket holders could be done with Mickey's information. Also, has NASCAR been contacted? I would think that with their vast resources they could aid in getting the information out there.

That is a really good idea, as in how Metalicca helped spread the word about Morgan Harrington being missing from a concert...although if he never went there, they might not be of much use...

Does this mean they now think he really did disappear from the race track? I thought they had decided he never went there.

ONe thing that could be done to, as far as New Hampshire Raceway contacting ticket holders, is to have them ask the ticket holders to scan their photos to see if Mickey shows up in any of them. THat would be one way to know for sure if he was there. Also, could help give a good time line for when he was last seen alive (that is if he was at the race at all.)

Missing Belchertown man's family in emotional, legal limbo

Christmas Day marks six months since a Belchertown man went missing, leaving his family to contemplate the holiday without a man who family members say was a vital contributor to his community and loved ones around the Christmas season.

Michael Brougham, 54, of 175 Jabish St., was last seen by his nephew, driving in his pickup truck in Belchertown on June 25. His wallet, cell phone and watch were found later that weekend at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, N.H., leading law enforcement officials to speculate that he had made his way to the racetrack before disappearing.

Six months later, no trace of Brougham has been found. An October search by volunteer investigators from across New England of the Loudon area produced no results. Searches in Belchertown have proven equally fruitless.

That's an interesting thought, but Loudon and Conway/North Conway aren't really that close together.

True, not that close. The distance between North Conway and Loudon is approximately 56 miles, although it always seems like more when driving it.

Brougham Family Still Searching for ‘Mickey’

After her brother Michael, Mickey, Brougham went missing in 2010, it’s the memories that Cindy Brougham keeps close to her heart.

“A wonderful person and a wonderful brother, a loving son,” said an emotional Cindy Brougham. “It’s what you have to keep in your heart always as you lose someone.”

In the past two years family members have put blue ribbons on the trees of the Belchertown town common to serve as a reminder of the one they lost. Cindy says even when the ribbons have fallen off other residents have repinned them to show their support.
