Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP18046) and 5 other sources
Ryan Patrick Dellinger, a 27-year-old man, was last seen on April 14, 2010, in Vacaville, California. He left his home on Bishop Drive around 1:00 p.m. and was walking to his job at a store in Golden Hills Plaza, located on Alamo Drive. However, he never arrived at work and has not been heard from since. His disappearance was reported two days later, on April 16, after he failed to return home.

At the time of his disappearance, Dellinger did not have a vehicle and was likely carrying his state ID, ATM card, and cellphone, though none of these items were ever used after he went missing. He was last seen wearing jeans and a black t-shirt with a heavy metal-style design. Despite the investigation, no significant clues have surfaced, and his case remains unsolved.

Authorities have urged anyone with information to contact the Vacaville Police Department, as they continue to seek any leads in his case.
