Previous Report: Authorities are asking for help locating an Ellicott City man who has been missing since Friday. Police said that the man has no known medical issues but has been out of touch with family members, which is out of character for him.

Michael Dooley, 65, of the 8500 block of Falls Run Road, was last seen leaving his home around 11 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 27, police said.

He left in a 2007 gray Acura RDX with Maryland tags "8BM9381" and went east over the Bay Bridge midday Friday, officials said, and it was unclear if he returned.

At the time of his disappearance, Dooley was wearing a hooded Adidas sweatshirt that was maroon and gray with blue jeans and gray Nike sneakers.

Family members reported Dooley missing after he had not been heard from in days, and investigators said that there has been no activity on his phone, credit card and bank accounts since then.

Dooley is described as a white man with wire-rimmed glasses, gray hair and blue eyes who is 5 feet 11 inches tall and 190 pounds.

Anyone who sees or has information about Michael Dooley should call 911.
