Details of Disappearance

Hustin was last seen at his residence in the 100 block of North Caroline Street in Middleton, Michigan on February 5, 2001. A co-worker from his place of employment, the Fulton Country Corners gas station, dropped him off there. Hustin has never been heard from again. Two weeks later, his bicycle, a blue girl's model with a wire basket on the front, was discovered abandoned in Ithaca, Michigan. There was no sign of him at the scene.
Hustin was scheduled to report to work during the morning of February 6, but he never arrived as expected. He was also slated to testify as a witness in a criminal trial in Gratiot, Michigan, one week after his disappearance. He had allegedly witnessed his landlord and employer, Roger Eugene Brown, steal a rifle and a bow from another tenant's apartment, and also saw Brown assault a child in Hustin's apartment. The theft charges against Brown were dismissed after Hustin vanished because he was the only eyewitness and prosecutors did not have enough evidence to proceed without his testimony. Brown pleaded guilty in the assault case and was fined.

Hustin is described as a happy, social person. He is a graduate of Fulton High School. He had been planning to move out of his apartment prior to his disappearance. Hustin's case remains unsolved.

Reward Boosts Hope Of Finding Gratiot Co. Man

(WNEM-5)Gratiot Co.- He was last seen more than a year ago, but now an additional reward may offer new hope in finding a missing Gratiot County man. Glenn Hustin worked at Fulton Country Corners gas station in Fulton. He disappeared after a co-worker gave him a ride home last February. His bicycle was found two weeks later in Ithaca. Hustin is developmentaly disabled and has never left the area on his own for any extended period before. $5,000 has been added to the existing $2000 reward, and the prosecutor thinks that may make the difference in finding Hustin. If you have any information that may help find him, you're asked to call the MSP tipline at 877-588-8477.

Hustin witnessed two incidents with landlord

By Elisabeth Waldon - Daily News staff writer

MIDDLETON -- According to court and sheriff's records, Glenn "Lenny" Richard Hustin Jr. was an eyewitness to two incidents that eventually resulted in charges against his employer and landlord, Roger Eugene Brown of Perrinton.

Both occurred shortly before Hustin was discovered missing from his Middleton apartment on Feb. 5, 2001.

Brown, 60, owned Hustin's apartment and was his boss at the Country Corner Station in Middleton. According to the Gratiot County Sheriff's Office, Brown is retired and formerly was employed with Buick-Oldsmobile-Cadillac in Lansing.

According to Gratiot County 65B District Court in Ithaca, Brown was charged with the Oct. 29, 2000, larceny of a firearm. He allegedly entered one of his tenant's apartments and took a rifle and a bow after the tenant hadn't paid rent, according to Gratiot County Prosecuting Attorney Keith Kushion.

The prosecutor said Hustin was present at the time of the alleged theft. A warrant was issued for Brown's arrest on Feb. 1, 2001.

"Lenny was supposed to testify at the preliminary examination of the larceny charge," Kushion said. "He was the only eyewitness that we had to the crime."

However, Hustin could not be found for the preliminary hearing scheduled for Feb. 14, 2001. The charge against Brown was dismissed March 16, 2001, because Hustin could not be located.

Brown also was charged with the Jan. 26, 2001, assault and battery of 10-year-old David Wayne Wright at Hustin's apartment. Hustin also was an eyewitness to that incident.

According to the sheriff's office, Wright said he, Dustin Lucas Turner, 11, and Britney Mae Wright, 9, were visiting Hustin when Brown came to Hustin's apartment, grabbed Wright by the front of his shirt collar, pushed him against a wall and started hollering at him and accusing him of being in the apartment attic.

Wright said Brown demanded answers from him, slapped him once and told the children to get out of the building and not come back.

Hustin backed up Wright's claims and told the sheriff's office that he was friends with the three youngsters and that they often came to his apartment. Hustin said Wright had not been playing in the attic.

Wright's mother, April Marie O'Connell -- who lived on the same street as Hustin -- filed the complaint against Brown.

According to the official report filed by Gratiot County Deputy Eric Andrews, "Mr. Brown answered the door and displayed a lot of anger and did not want to cooperate with our interview process. Mr. Brown attempted to tell (the two deputies) how we were going to handle this situation and when and where we could speak with him. Mr. Brown then attempted to close the door, but (a deputy) held the door open with (his) foot."

The report says Brown then told the deputies that he owned the apartment building and that he had received a complaint from a tenant that somebody was climbing around in the attic. He said he responded to the apartments and observed Wright dropping out of the ceiling access in a hallway and then running into Hustin's apartment.

"Mr. Brown admitted that he grabbed (Wright) by the shirt and told him to get out of his building and not to return. Mr. Brown did not answer when asked if he slapped" Wright, the sheriff's report said.

According to 65B District Court, Brown pleaded guilty to jostling in that incident and received a $360 fine.

Middleton man still missing after 4 years

By Elisabeth Waldon - Daily News staff writer

MIDDLETON -- He's still gone, but never forgotten.

It's been four years today since Glenn "Lenny" Richard Hustin Jr. disappeared from his Middleton apartment. The Ithaca State Police still are actively investigating the situation and looking at suspects, according to Detective Sgt. Steve Benn.

Hustin last was seen during the late-evening hours of Feb. 5, 2001, at his apartment. The then-30-year-old was about 5 feet, 5 inches tall, weighed about 120 pounds, had brown hair and eyes, and wore glasses. He was known to ride a blue girl's-style bicycle with a wire basket on the front and was employed with the Country Corner Station in Middleton.

Hustin's 35th birthday will be April 28.

Benn said the Ithaca State Police have received no leads on Hustin's disappearance in the past year. Extensive searches have taken place in an effort to locate Hustin -- everything from helicopters to mounted patrols -- but nothing has been found.

"It's still an open and active investigation," Benn said. "We haven't received any tips. There's been a few false leads. There's been basically rumors that we've chased down, but really nothing significant."

A graduate of Fulton High School in Middleton, Hustin was about to move out of his apartment when he disappeared. His family describes him as happy and social, a man who enjoyed country music and taped each episode of "The Dukes of Hazard" television show. He loved his three cats and was passionate about working at the Country Corner Station.

Hustin's stepsister, Rose Litwiller of Maple Rapids, has remained in contact with Benn since Hustin's disappearance. Litwiller, who is employed with the Masonic Home in Alma, still holds onto hope that her stepbrother will be found.

"I wish someone would come forward and tell us where he is," she said. "I'm hoping someone will come forward and say something."

Hustin's parents, Jules and Barbara Sanford of Perrinton, his sisters, Brenda Shie and Ruth Miller, and his brother, Allen Hustin, all share that same hope.

"I'm kind of discouraged he hasn't been found yet," said Shie, who is employed with Amoco in Carson City. "I'm hoping it'll all work out in the long run. We all miss him."

Hustin's employer and landlord at the time of his disappearance, Roger Eugene Brown, 60, of Perrinton, was unavailable for comment.

The State Police ask that anyone with tips or more information contact the Ithaca Post at (989) 875-4111 or (989) 875-7631.

Middleton man missing 5 years

By ELISABETH WALDON - Gazette editor
MIDDLETON — Feb. 5 marked the fifth anniversary of a Middleton man mysteriously disappearing without a trace.

Glenn Richard “Lenny” Hustin Jr. last was seen during the late-evening hours of Feb. 5, 2001, at his apartment. The then-30-year-old was about 5 feet, 5 inches tall, weighed about 120 pounds, had brown hair and eyes, and wore glasses.

He was known to ride a blue girls-style bicycle with a wire basket on the front and was employed with the Country Corner Station in Middleton. A graduate of Fulton High School in Middleton, Hustin was about to move out of his apartment when he disappeared.

Hustin’s 36th birthday will be April 28. His family describes him as happy and social, a man who used to enjoy country music and tape each episode of “The Dukes of Hazzard” television show. He loved his three cats and was passionate about working at the Country Corner Station.

Michigan State Police Ithaca post Det. Sgt. Steve Benn said he continues to actively investigate the open case.

“We’re following up on any leads that come in,” he said. “We’re urging anyone with information to come in and talk to us.”

Extensive searches have been conducted in an effort to locate Hustin — everything from helicopters to mounted patrols — but nothing has been found.

Hustin’s stepsister, Rose Litwiller of Maple Rapids, has been in frequent contact with Benn since Hustin’s disappearance. She even visited a psychic in late 2005 to ask about her stepbrother.

“I think it’s a stale case,” she said. “I’m the only one who’s been giving them (the police) information. I wanna say he’s gonna be found sooner or later. I will not give up.”

The state police ask that anyone with tips or more information contact the Ithaca post at (989) 875-4111 or (989) 875-7631.

No sign of Lenny


Rose Litwiller has saved newspaper clippings and photographs since her stepbrother, Glenn “Lenny” Hustin Jr. went missing five years ago on Feb. 5, 2001. — Daily News/Joe Veselenak
By Elisabeth Waldon - Daily News staff writer
The former landlord and employer of Glenn Richard “Lenny” Hustin Jr. says he doesn’t spend time thinking about Hustin’s disappearance five years ago.

Roger Eugene Brown is a resident of Perrinton and currently is wintering in Florida. He spoke recently with The Daily News via telephone, his wife listening to the conversation and telling him what to say when he paused between questions. Brown declined to provide his wife’s name.

“I’d like to make this thing die,” Brown said of Hustin’s disappearance. “We’re getting tired of the whole thing. I’m not going to sit down and worry about one person because he’s not around. This guy was mentally retarded and I think as far as he was concerned and I’m concerned it’s done with. I don’t know where he went.”

Brown said Hustin worked for him part-time for about a year at the Country Corner Station in Middleton and also lived in a one-bedroom apartment Brown owned. Brown sold the business in 2003 and still owns the Middleton apartments.

“He was dependable and he done his job,” Brown said of Hustin. “I only saw him at work. He worked two, maybe three days a week.”

When Hustin disappeared on Feb. 5, 2001, Brown said he wasn’t concerned.

“He didn’t show up for work one day,” he recalled. “I wasn’t worried about him. I’ve had a lot of employees that didn’t show up. People come and go. One wasn’t any different from the other. I never really got too much involved in it as far as feelings go.

“Glenny moved around a lot,” Brown said. “He moved from place to place. He moved to wherever he could find a roof over his head. He wasn’t that stable a person. He was easy to replace.”

He said Hustin once confided in him about a personal matter while the two men were working.

“He had told me once when we where working together that he wanted to visit his father” in an undisclosed location, Brown said. “Well, I knew his father. His father and I worked together at Oldsmobile in Lansing about 20 years ago. His father’s name was Glenn too. He had communicated with his dad. He talked about going ‘down there’ to see his father so I didn’t think no more about it.”

Brown said he kept Hustin’s apartment as it was for about a month until family members came and removed the man’s belongings.

Brown said after Hustin’s disappearance troopers from the Michigan State Police Ithaca post questioned him about the situation.

“My wife was awful upset because they put us through an awful lot of harassment,” Brown said. “I got over it.

“We didn’t have nothing to do with the disappearance,” he added. “Absolutely not.”

Skeleton found in Gratiot




By GREG NELSON
Sun Staff Writer


The partial remains of a human skeleton have been uncovered during excavation at a site in Gratiot County.

Sheriff Rick Beracy would not give a specific location but did say they were discovered on property in Seville Township.

"We just want to protect the privacy of the people (who own the property)," he said. "At this point the digging has stopped but that's not to say something else won't show up later. If it does they will notify us.

"We have everything we need. It's an area of concern and we are conducting an active investigation."

The sheriff's office is working with researchers from the Michigan State University Department of Anthropology in an attempt to identify the person, Beracy said.

The skeletal remains appear to be that of a "young adult European male," he added.

"Apparently they have been there for some time," Beracy said.

Already a couple of possibilities have been ruled out.

According to Beracy, the bones do not belong to Glenn Hustin of Middleton, who has been missing since Feb. 5, 2001.

He was 32 when last seen that day about 10:30 p.m. by co-workers at the Fulton Corners gas station and convenience store on M-57.

"We want to be sensitive to his loved ones and put that rumor to rest," Beracy said. "At first we thought it might be Glenn but we have learned it is not."

It has also been ruled out that the skeleton was the remains of a Native American.

"We thought it might be an Indian burial grounds but it isn't," Beracy said

Although investigators "have enough to go on" they haven't yet determined how long the bones have been buried or if foul play was involved in the person's death.

"We have the skull but it shows no head trauma," Beracy said.

He's not sure how long it will take anthropologists to conclude their study or if a cause of death will ever be known.

'Lenny' Hustin's been missing 10 years; his family wants answers
Published: Sunday, February 06, 2011


By LINDA GITTLEMAN
Gratiot Managing Editor

"We wanted to do something different for Glenn. We wanted to pray for him," she said. Sun Photograph by ASHLEY MILLER

The missing persons case of Glenn Hustin still keeps Michigan State Police Det. Steve Benn up at nights.

He considers it one of his most frustrating cases.

Missing now for nearly 10 years, Hustin - known to some as Lenny - was 30 years old when he disappeared in February 2001 in Middleton, days before he was expected to testify in a court case involving his employer and landlord.

For Hustin's family, the last 10 years have been a nightmare.

"It's really been a rough time," his sister Brenda Litwiller said. "Holidays, his birthday is coming up."

When she and her sister cleaned out Hustin's apartment in 2001, she said, it was hard. They found the things he liked best: Pepsi and cigarettes. His clean laundry was right by the front door.

Litwiller said she doesn't expect that her brother is alive, not after all this time.

"I'd love to have a closing," she said. "And know what happened."

Hustin's niece Amanda, daughter of Ruth Miller, Hustin's sister, is now 18 but she remembers her uncle well.

"He's a great guy," she said. "He'd do anything for anyone. He'd drive 100 miles to help someone."

For her mother, Hustin's unknown fate has made life miserable.

Litwiller said she tried to conduct her own investigation five years ago, but didn't have any success. She believed people were following her.

"I've done my own research," Miller said, but like her sister, she too experienced some disturbing things.

"I'd have threats," she said. "Oh, my car windows would be smashed, trying to intimidate me."

Miller said she had tried to get her brother to move in with her, but wasn't successful.

"Whenever there was a problem, he came to my home," she said. "I know he's not coming back, but I hope we can at least bury him. He was quiet and kept to himself. He didn't cause problems."

Police posted information on Hustin's case on the National Law Enforcement Telecommunication System. There has been no activity on Hustin's Social Security number. He had received government assistance checks and income tax refunds, and none of those checks were ever picked up. His bank account wasn't touched, either.

And there the case has stood all these years.

"I've gotten a scattering of tips," Benn said of the last few years. "But none fruitful."

The court case Hustin was to testify in involved his employer and landlord Roger Eugene Brown.

At the time, Brown owned Fulton Country Corners, since sold, and owned several rental properties in the Middleton area.

That court case concerned allegations that Brown had entered a rental unit and taken property that belonged to a tenant. Hustin was allegedly with him.

At first, Hustin, who is mentally challenged, told police that Brown had taken nothing. He recanted, and in a written statement, he said Brown was upset about the condition of the trailer and took a bow and shotgun.

Brown was charged with larceny of a firearm, a five-year felony, and a preliminary exam was set for Feb. 14, 2001.

According to police reports obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, Hustin was frightened that Brown would evict him or fire him.

Brown could not be reached for comment for this article.

Hustin was reported missing by his family on Feb. 11, 2001.

Hustin often rode a bike and the last time he was seen, Feb. 5, he had ridden the bicycle to work and parked it at the side of the building. The bike also went missing. Investigative reports concerned who had seen the bike last, when it had been moved, and what side of the building it had been seen at first and then later.

Ultimately, the bike was found in Ithaca on Feb. 20, 2001.

But there was no trace of Hustin.

Without a witness, the larceny case against Brown was dismissed.

Rumors and theories centered on the idea that Hustin went to Florida. Police said that was later determined not to be true. Another rumor was that Brown moved Hustin to Kentucky, where his son lived, to keep Hustin quiet. Police in Kentucky checked that out and never found Hustin, according to police reports.

Other tipsters told police where they thought Hustin was buried, but after extensive searches, nothing was found.

Wherever police checked, the results were the same: nothing.

Oddball tips were heavy in the beginning, but for the most part, the tips have stopped. Still, every now and then, Benn said, he gets a new one and every single one is investigated.

Hustin's case was on "America's Most Wanted" TV show about four or five years ago, but that TV exposure did not help solve the case.

Hustin's DNA profile has been entered in a national data bank run by the University of North Texas.

"We will continue to follow up on any and all leads," Benn said. "We will not stop investigating.

"It's the most frustrating thing I've ever been involved with," he continued. "Somebody's going to come loose with some information. Somebody knows something."

Supporters gather for vigil on 10th anniversary of Lenny's disappearance

Family and friends gathered Saturday evening in Perrinton for a tear-filled candlelight vigil in honor of Glenn Hustin.

Hustin, of Middleton, was last seen on Feb. 5, 2001.

The vigil was held outside of a family member’s house to mark the 10th anniversary of Hustin’s disappearance.

Pastor Jerry Kissling opened the ceremony by reading Bible verses from the Book of Psalms, and praying for Hustin and his family.

“How do we pray, Lord, in a time like this?” Kissling said. “I pray for the family, for their comfort, and their peace.”

For many years, the family didn’t do anything to commemorate Hustin’s life, because they hoped he would be returning home. This year, they wanted to honor him.

“This was something special,” Rose Litwiller, Hustin’s stepsister, said. “We decided to do this because we really wanted to do something for Glenn that was different.”

Two of Hustin’s former co-workers spoke of how kind, caring and good hearted he was.

“I came out here in honor of Glenn,” Lori Verwey said. “He was just so kind.”

“I came here to support Glenn,” Charmen Wright said. “He was really caring, he liked people, and liked helping people out.” Continued...



After some more personal prayer, Kissling ended the ceremony with Psalm 34:18. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted,” he said. “And saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

t's been 10 years since Middleton resident Glenn "Lenny" Hustin vanished.

There have been lots of tips, but none panned out; not one led to where the missing man could be found.

Few expect he will be found alive and whatever hope that Hustin will one day be a part of his loved one's lives again has diminished with each passing year.

But there still is the hope that his family will learn what happened.

Hustin is never far from the lead investigator's mind, either.

Although these past years have proved frustrating for Michigan State Police Det. Steve Benn, he won't give up.

"Somebody has to know something," he said.

The tips, once plentiful, have dwindled to a trickle, but each one is thoroughly checked out.

Even now, 10 years later, Benn is still receiving them.

Some day, we can believe, we'll know what happened to Hustin.

Let's hope it's sooner rather than later.

All police need to solve this case, really, is that one tip that leads them to the truth, or that one lucky break that helps them piece the clues together.

A man doesn't vanish without someone knowing something.

Assuming the worst case scenario and something intentionally was done to Hustin, justice needs to be served.

If anyone knows anything about this case, even if you think it's trivial information, now is the time to come forward.

The Old Heifer! An oxymoron, of course.

Rose Litwiller, Glenn Hustin's sister: "We're still out there looking for him and I won't give up."

Ten years later family and friends are still searching for a missing man. It's a mystery in rural Gratiot County. What happened to Glenn Hustin? There may be few answers, but those in his tiny hometown are still hopeful they'll find him.

Rose Litwiller: "He always seems to help out whoever needed help, if they needed help or whatever, he was always there for them."

It's been ten years since Rose Litwiller last saw her brother Glenn Houston.

Rose Litwiller: "Glen came up missing on February fifth of 2001."

According to the missing person's report, Hustin was last seen at his apartment in Middleton exactly a decade ago in 2001.

Rose Litwiller: "One of the girls from work took him home, 'cause he worked at the gas station at 57, and he left his bike at the gas station. Well, the following day he never showed up for work."

Litwiller says that wasn't like Huston to miss work and she knew then something was wrong. She says Huston was set to testify as a witness in an upcoming court case.

Rose Litwiller: "And then he came up missing a week before. After that his bike ended up being in Ithaca, they found it in Ithaca, and that's about it."

Huston was 30 when he disappeared. Now ten years later Litwiller says there's still no word or sign of her brother, but she says the family hasn't given up hope.

Rose Litwiller: "We're hoping deep down that he's still alive. We know probably he's gone and we just want to find him and put him to rest."

And so her ten year search continues to help bring Huston home.

There has been no activity on Hustin's Social Security number. He had received government assistance checks and income tax refunds, and none of those checks were ever picked up. His bank account wasn't touched.

Hustin often rode a bike and the last time he was seen, Feb. 5, he had ridden the bicycle to work and parked it at the side of the building. The bike also went missing.
