Michael Brougham, 54, is missing. Nicknamed "Mickey" is from Belchertown, MA. His family is offering a $5,000 reward for information that will lead to finding him.

Police recovered his wallet outside Loudon Raceway early Sunday morning, on June 26, 2010. A dog search was conducted, as well. Mickey is a diabetic and recently had cardiac bypass surgery and doesn't have his medication with him. Additionally, his vehicles are still at his home which adds to the mystery as to how he got to the NH racetrack? His family is extremely worried and asks the public to please help look for him. It is not in his character to not contact his family or friends.

BELCHERTOWN, Mass. (WGGB) -- Saturday marks the one year anniversary in the disappearance of a Michael "Mickey" Brougham.
Saturday morning Mickey's sisters Cindy Brown and Carla Chaisson hung blue ribbons on the Belchertown Common to show they will never stop looking for their beloved brother.
"It's a difficult day. It's a day that marks for us a year of not knowing. We thought a year ago we would have some answers by now," said Cindy Brown.
"You're able to move forward with acceptance. This is a reality somebody you love is important and special to you has been taken from you and you have to now move forward in a positive way," said Carla Chaisson.
The 54 year old Mickey was last seen June 25, 2010 in Belchertown. His wallet and cell phone were found days later 2 1/2 hours north near the Nascar race track in Loudon, New Hampshire.
Searches that took place both in New Hampshire and Belchertown came up with nothing.
"The more time goes on we realize that something really bad has happened. We need to close this and need help finding his body and bring him home," said Brown.
The Northwestern DA's Office continues to investigate. And on this anniversary the family hopes someone will have a fresh tip or recognize a scorpion pendant they said Mickey always wore.
"This pendant is unaccounted for and we believe it was with Mickey when it went missing. Logic tells us someone has acquired this pendant," said Chaisson.
The two sisters said just up and leaving is something Mickey would never do. He was close with his family and a well known guy around town.
"Everyone knew Mickey so everyone has this same sense of loss," said Brown.
"He was a lot of fun. Many people said to us he would light up a room with his smile. He was the life of the party," said Chaisson.
Saturday night the family asked people to leave a porch or window light on to show support and raise awareness about Mickey's disappearance.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Belchertown Police Department or State Police.
