I hope that this hasnt already been posted, I did a search on his name and came up with nothing:

I find it weird that his dog, the food bowls and dog food are also missing.  this is his facebook.

LONG ISLAND, N.Y. (1010 WINS)  -- A Long Island couple is asking for help to find their missing son, Michael Taus who they say left for a blind date on June 18th and never returned.

Barbara Taus, spoke with 1010WINs' Sonia Rincon about her 25 year-old son Michael, who had recently begun dating online. (Photo: Family Handout)




"I always used to tease him whenever he was going out on a date with a girl from Match.com," said Taus.

"I'd say 'tell me where you're going to be so I know if they ever kidnap you. He used to laugh, and I said, 'Michael you never know, these things happen'"

Tous' dog, Romeo also disappeared that night and cops found his car about a week later near Elmont with the engine running.

Barbara says her son has never gone anywhere for this long without telling her.

"If he wants to stay away," said Barbara, "that's fine, but just call me and tell me that you're not coming home ever again. I want to know he's alive."

Anyone with information is asked to call 800-220-TIPS.

  However, Michael Taus never returned to his West Islip apartment after his internet date. Another perplexing element to this case is that his dog and the dog's water and food bowls were also missing from the apartment. 

Its weird that the parents would be like "its ok if you never want to come home again, just call us" - i can see hoping for THAT instead of death, but just wondering what the relationship was like, and if that was really something he might do.

That doesn't seem the least bit weird to me.

Funny cause I met my ex online, and when we met the first time we hung out for the next few days. She blew off plans and since she had no phone charger her phone died. Her folks called the cops, detectives called my friends..... good times.

:lol: 4 out of 5 doctors?




I didn't say that nothing funny happened. I was saying it's not weird for his parents to say "if you're gonna bounce, just tell us."

Maybe that sounds less 'threatening.' If they were saying OMG YOU COME HOME RIGHT NOW he might be more likely to ignore them than if they said hey, just let us know you're okay. You don't have to come home if you don't want to.

Does this mean the dog had a car?

I'm going with kidnap/robbery. He might of thought he was meeting up with some hot chick. Maybe she was a possible decoy?
When I read the title I thought that maybe they had met at a local dog park or just any park in general.

Yes, they do. Believe me, my mom is an avid member.

You have to provide credit info and they charge you, but I guess they refund if you don't meet your soulmate? Who the fuck determines that?

Clearly the car was the dog's.  It's the dog that needed to start anew and he took his owner with him.

I wonder if there was a plate and glass missing from the cupboard, too? And maybe some silverware.

A few tins of dog food and some ravioli in a can?

[ZoMyGoddess!]

well case solved, he clearly fell deep in love, left with his dog with the bowls wrapped in a handkerchief, attached to a stick and a couple of cans of dog food and baked beans.

they should check the train tracks, him, the girl and the dog must be following them.
