Leodegardia Cruz Morales, 79, was last seen leaving a residence in Sevierville, Tennessee, on March 6, 2023. He is described as 5 feet 4 inches tall, about 130 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes; a distinctive feature is silver grills on his front four teeth. The Sevier County Sheriff’s Department was notified and a report was filed two days after he was last seen.

Investigators were given information suggesting he may have intended to travel to Mexico, but there are no confirmed sightings or contact to verify that lead. The search remains open and the family continues to hope for answers.

If anyone in Sevierville or the surrounding area saw Leodegardia after March 6, 2023, or has information about possible travel toward Mexico, please come forward.
