Ricardo Salazar Galvez, 28, was last seen in Lebanon, Tennessee, on January 30, 2024. He is described as a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes, 5 feet 5 inches tall and about 120 pounds. Family and friends say he was reliable and kind-hearted; when he did not return home and could not be reached, his family reported him missing to the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office.

Authorities were told he was possibly endangered and initiated searches while asking the public for tips. Local volunteers distributed flyers, held vigils, and joined search efforts. Investigators report a lack of evidence and no known witnesses, which has made it difficult to reconstruct Ricardo’s timeline or determine what happened after he was last seen.

Ricardo’s family continues to hope for information that could explain his disappearance. If anyone saw Ricardo on or after January 30, 2024, or has information about his whereabouts, please come forward.
