3/21/2018) - Eric Franks vanished from the Saginaw area 7 years ago along with his car, but investigators are still missing key pieces of information to break open the case.
Franks was 38 years old when he disappeared in 2011. His car vanished too.
"Most likely it's gone," said Michigan State Police investigator Hilary House. "It was scrapped, it was cut into pieces."
Franks' disappearance is being investigated as a murder. Three law enforcement agencies in the Saginaw area and another agency from Florida are actively working the case.
"All of our contacts are down there, our resources," House said. "Anyone that knew the last whereabouts of Eric, they are in Florida."
Kendra Firmingham died in Florida in 2016. She had a child with Franks. Firmingham's husband, who has been questioned in Florida, has given investigators names of two men who knew Firmingham.
"After she passed away we have learned of those names of people he was familiar with that she used to stay in contact with," House said.
She is attempting to track down those two men. She believes both live in Michigan
Additionally, House believes a vehicle that drove away from Miller's Motel in Bridgeport with Franks' belongings was a specific color and authorities believed Firmingham was driving that vehicle.
"There is a possibility that a red car may be involved at this point too that we were unaware of before," House said.
She has some additional help with the investigation. Samiejo Taylor is an intern with the Michigan State Police who is reviewing recorded interviews and three binders of information
"She's a fresh new eyes," House said. "She loves it, she's into it."
There are theories and even strong possibilities as to what happened to Franks, but seven years later police are still looking for that one person to step forward who knows what happened to Franks.
"I'm determined, but its a tough one," House said. "There is no body and there is no vehicle and everyone has moved."
