Michael Phillip Martin

On the 13th June, 2014, just after 5am. Scott Collingwood on a morning walk, not far from his home, made a disturbing discovery.

At the base of an external set of stairs to a second floor apartment, lying on the ground was 25 year old, Michael Phillip Martin. Michael was bound at the hands and feet and blindfolded with gaffer tape, struggling to move and calling out for help.

Scott quickly approached him and removed the tape.

No longer bound there came an emotional plea from Michael... 'my Dad’s up there!  they got my dad! I think he’s dead'
