Daniel Octavio Gallardo Jr., 19, of Barstow, California, was last seen October 28, 2015, after moving to Truckee for a landscaping job with Rock & Rose Inc. He had been staying with a cousin in Reno before starting work. On the morning of October 28 Daniel left for his first day but never arrived; his debit card was used at a Truckee Chevron at 1:45 p.m., and he called his girlfriend around 2:00 p.m. He was reported missing the next day when family could not reach him.

On October 5, 2016, a white 2012 Nissan Altima registered to Daniel was recovered abandoned in a remote forest about 40 miles north of Truckee. Searches around that scene produced no additional clues. Authorities say there is no direct evidence of foul play, but the circumstances are considered suspicious and the case remains open with Truckee, Barstow and Reno police involved. The family continues to seek answers.

If anyone was in or around Truckee, Reno, or the forested area north of Truckee in late 2015 and saw Daniel or his car, can you come forward with what you remember?
