Ronald Gale Sallee, 40, disappeared on September 2, 1989, while camping with friends in the Ansel Adams Wilderness in Madera County, California. The group had planned to hike the Cassidy Trail and fish along the San Joaquin River. During the hike Sallee slipped, got back up, then began behaving strangely before becoming separated from the party and not returning to camp.

Friends fired shots into the air to signal location but received no response. Sallee was reported missing a few days later and searches were conducted, but neither he nor his belongings—a blue backpack and a red sleeping bag—were found. He is described as a 6 feet tall Caucasian male, 185 pounds, with brown hair, green eyes and a tattoo of a sun with rays.

The case is listed as a lost/injured missing person and there are no new leads reported. If anyone was in the Ansel Adams Wilderness that Labor Day weekend or has information about Sallee’s last known movements, please share what is known.
