Gary Thomas Tacey, known by some as Buddy Love, was 53 when he was last seen at his Loretto, Kentucky, residence on Paul Brady Road on June 12, 2017. His girlfriend reported him missing on June 23. The Marion County Sheriff’s Office opened a missing-person investigation on June 19, 2017.

At the time of his disappearance he was described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches to 5 feet 11 inches, 190 to 200 pounds, with brown hair (worn long or short) and hazel eyes; he may have had a full beard and mustache or been clean-shaven. Investigators and search teams conducted a two-day search of a 140-acre farm in Loretto that included search-and-rescue personnel and two teams of canine cadaver dogs, but found no sign of him.

No public details have been released about the clothing he wore or personal items he may have had when he left. The official account is that he left his home on foot one June day and has not been seen or heard from since. If anyone knew Gary, where he spent time, or has information about his whereabouts, please share what is known with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.
