(Cleveland) Ohio Bureau of Investigation has released a photo of how a Cleveland man, who was last seen more than 20 years ago, might look today. Michael Hodge was 39 years old at the time he went missing in March of 2004. He was last seen riding a 10-speed bike near the 4000 block of West 172nd Street near Puritas Avenue in Cleveland.

BCI's forensic artist created the age progression technology to come up with the image of Hodge, who would be 61 years old today.

In addition to riding a bicycle the last time he was seen, Hodge was wearing a t-shirt, blue jeans, a white jacket, tennis shoes, a blue canvas fishing hat over a gray knit cap. Hodge was also missing four front teeth, and had several tattoos on both arms, one of which was a skull with a long tongue on his right forearm.

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost says, "Michael is out there somewhere, and we'll keep searching until his family gets the answers they deserve."

Anyone who has information on the disappearance of Michael Hodge, or know where he is, is asked to call the Ohio BCI's Criminal Intelligence Unit at 855-BCI-OHIO (855-224-6446).
