Ricardo Castillo was 31 when he was last seen on October 12, 2004, in Fresno, California. He was being escorted to University Medical Center for a mental health evaluation. The person accompanying him left briefly to get a security guard; when that person returned Castillo was gone. That is the last confirmed sighting.

At the time he disappeared Castillo was described as 5 feet 5 inches, about 140 pounds, with brown hair. Despite ongoing efforts by the Fresno Police Department and others, no significant leads have explained what happened after he left the medical facility and the case remains cold.

If anyone was in or near University Medical Center on October 12, 2004, or has information about Castillo’s whereabouts around that time, please contact the Fresno Police Department.
