Donnie Ray Martin III, 31, has not been seen since he left his job in the city at a tree trimming service about noon Aug. 3.
He had just gotten paid, said Madison Heights Detective Sgt. Mark Zupec. At this point it is unknown if he possibly doesnt want to found or if he met with foul play.
Martins girlfriend was the last person to hear from him when police say he sent her a text about 20 minutes after he left work.
Martins father reported him missing. He and Martins girlfriend have been unsuccessful trying to reach him on his cell phone.
They are worried about his safety and where he might be, Zupec said. And his family have been looking for him as well.
Zupec said police have tried to discover Martins whereabouts by finding a location signal from his cellphone but it appears the phone has been turned off.
Martin was known to frequent the area of John R Road and State Fair in Detroit, though police released no details of why he visited neighborhoods there.
It is believed Martin visited the area before he went missing.
Since last week Madison Heights police have canvassed the area with pictures of Martin and have approached different people on the street to see if they recognized the missing man.
Several detectives have been there between 7 mile and 8 mile on John R and west all the way to Woodward, Zupec said. They also handed out photos to the Hamtramck and Detroit police departments.
Police found people in the area who recognized Martins picture but nobody could place him there in the time since he went missing.
We have gotten calls about deaths in the area but these have been ruled out, Zupec said.
Anyone with information about Martin or who may have seen him after noon Aug. 3 is asked to contact Madison Heights Police at 248-585-2100 or Crime Stoppers at 800-773-2587.
When last seen Martin was wearing a red T-shirt, blue jeans and tennis shoes. He has multiple tatoos on his hands and arms, including one in Chinese on his neck, and piercings below his right eye and in his left nostril, according to Crime Stoppers.
