## Biography

### Childhood

Michael A. was born to Edgar Carson and Angela Jacot on September 29, 1930, in Schuylerville, New York. He was named after the archangel of the same name. When he was almost five years old, his uncle, Stanley Carson was murdered in Los Angeles.

### Adult Years

As he grew up, Michael A. became one of the respected residents of the town. His father was an officer, so he became one as well. At some point, he had a wife and later had a daughter named Ronelda.

### Disappearance

During January of 1965, residents of the town began to realize Michael A. was acting paranoid, but he still seemed like a sane man, so they ignored the issue. On the last day of January, Michael would leave his house one day, and he was never seen again. Residents tried looking for him but to no avail.

His disappearance would remain unsolved for 57 years until his skeletal remains were found in the woods of nearby Saratoga Springs. Of course, it wasn't clear how the body got there. It wasn't until a few months later that the truth of Michael A's death was solved thanks to his grandson, Michael Carson.

One day, Michael A. was walking near the train tracks when he spotted a mysterious man wandering aimlessly. He walked up to him and questioned him about who he was and what he was doing there. The man explained that he was just walking around the train tracks.
Michael A. noted that the man acted strangely and initially grew suspicious of the man. However, Michael A. didn't have any proof of any crime the man did and eventually left him alone.
Michael A. would continue seeing the man for the next few days of January. He often felt a sense of paranoia and dread when he was near the man, though, he wasn't sure why.
Occasionally, Michael A. would get invitations from the man, telling him to have a drink. Although Michael A. did drink as mentioned earlier, he never drank much and so often refused.
On January 30, the day before his disappearance, Michael A. would write about the events in his diary which he always kept with him. The next day, Michael A. felt the compulsion to visit the man. He then left his house for the last time but not before telling his daughter, Ronelda to "never visit the train tracks."
When Michael A. reached the train tracks, the man forcefully fed him several bottles of whiskey, in an attempt to make Michael A. drunk. He was successful and when Michael A. got drunk enough, the man pushed him in front of an oncoming train, killing him instantly. The man proceeded to bury Michael A's body in the woods near Saratoga Springs.
