Ronald Eugene Westwick, 34, disappeared from Ames, Iowa, on March 12, 1979. He had epilepsy and required regular medication, which is why his case is classified as endangered missing. On the day he vanished he was seen at several locations around Ames; his car was later found in the 500 block of Fifth Street with multiple parking tickets. His bank accounts were never accessed after he went missing.

Westwick lived with his parents at the time; both have since died. He is described as a Caucasian male, 6 feet 2 inches tall, 240 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes and tattoos on both upper arms. Clothing and personal items from the day of his disappearance are not well documented.

The sudden nature of his disappearance and his medical needs left investigators considering several possibilities, but the case remains unsolved and there have been no significant leads. If anyone in Ames at the time remembers seeing Ronald or his car, please contact the Ames Police Department with information.
