Ian Sal Gratto Saalfield, 45, was reported missing by his wife on April 26, 2022 after he was last seen April 25 leaving his Lake Grove home with a childhood friend, Brian Cordovano. The men drove Saalfield’s white 2015 Lexus, which was found abandoned in a Holtsville parking lot on May 2, 2022, prompting an expanded search.

On May 3, 2022, police executed leads from the missing person investigation at a residence on Hollywood Avenue in Selden and found the bodies of Saalfield and the homeowner, 58-year-old Robert Julian. Both had been fatally shot in the head. Investigators ruled out a murder-suicide and noted possible links to the drug trade. Brian Cordovano was arrested during a traffic stop in Smithtown and charged with two counts of first-degree murder; he was known to be acquainted with both victims.

Neighbors described Saalfield as friendly and polite. Does anyone have information about Saalfield’s movements or contacts in late April 2022?
