Here is a map of where the lounge is located (red mark) Orange Street, where his car was found, is NORTH of the lounge and the river. If walking to his car he would have had to cross the river on the bridge. That can be a recipe for disaster if he was intoxicated. Google Maps

Eyewitnesses told Boston 25 News they last saw McClain inside a McDonalds near the club, apparently waiting for a ride.

"I guess an altercation with two women at the club," Edward said of the apparent incident. "Michael tried to break it up because he didn’t feel it was right, it got a little rowdy out there, everyone dispersed."

Michael's family tracked his cell phone to the McDonalds where he was last seen. Along the way, his parents say Michael made a disturbing phone call to his manager.

"Michael called her and said that somebody is chasing him, and he needs help," his mother said.

Very puzzling that he made a phone call to his boss after leaving the club saying he was being pursued.....why not call the friends he was with? I hope that LE interviewed everybody who was involved in the fight at the club....maybe there was some retribution afterwards that resulted from him breaking up the fight.

Did he even make that call, or was it a text maybe?

Funny, as I am on this now, and it's set to private. I realize you posted this back in May, but kind of odd that it's locked down like this?

The mobile FB link MikeNice McClain still works for me. But, if I take the "m." out of the address line to see the computer version (I always do this), all the posts disappear. Very strange.

Wow, this one’s painful, the family is so distraught and there’s not a single lead... given the the circumstances of his last known whereabouts and conversation/message I am very sad to think of what happened.. praying for some peace for his family

Family looks for answers 5 months after man went missing in Nashua

I had forgotten about him, just saw when checking the news this morning.

From the article:

[...]

McClain’s father, Edward McClain, said his son would never take off without letting anyone, especially his mother, know that he’s OK.

[...]

On Saturday, volunteers put up hundreds of posters in hopes of getting someone to come forward.

[...]

Frustrated with the information they've received so far from investigators, the family is pushing for someone in the public to come forward.

[...]

“You were with him. You have to know something. You can't say you don't know anything because that's impossible. If this is your friend, you need to go to the police and you need to tell them something,” she said.

MJ added: “We want answers. That's all we want: answers. Whether he's coming back complete, whole to us or whether we have to give him the proper going away, we want Michael back, and we're not going to stop until we get him back.”

Nashua police said it is an open and active investigation.

 

[bykerladi]

Yes, odd, to call the manager and not (a) law enforcement, (b) friends, (c) family. Also, why was he waiting for a ride if he had a car? Why did his friends leave without him, if they knew his car was still there?

 

[Steelslady]

I feel so bad for Mike and his family. From what I have read about him, he seemed like a wonderful guy.

I didn't see this posted yet, so I figured I would now, to keep Mike's name out there:

Family of missing man pleads for answers

 

[Steelslady]

This is just so cruel to his poor family. I sincerely doubt that he just up and walked away and started a new life. This guy was clearly scared that night, from what I remember. Something to do with that fight that he broke up. I think we all probably can guess what happened to him, but the who did it is still out there living life while this man, in my opinion, is no longer with us. I think his family knows this, too.

 

[cocomod]

How sad! How can a person just disappear without any leads? He didn’t walk away. I can’t imagine his “friends” just ditching him. They say his car was still parked there. Did the police move it?
