Geno Samuel Ranelli was 26 when he was last seen on May 20, 1977, in St. Paul, Minnesota. He had been living in Minnesota after moving there with a friend, Christopher Freeman. The two had operated a shop in East St. Paul selling redwood products but had closed it earlier that year.

Ranelli was reported to be 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 11 inches, about 150 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, glasses, and a tattoo on his right forearm. On the day he vanished he told his family he and Freeman planned to travel to Philadelphia and possibly onto Miami, Florida. Both men were last known to be together and neither has been seen since; investigators later declared Ranelli legally dead.

There are few publicly reported leads and the disappearances are believed to be connected. If anyone knew Geno, Christopher Freeman, their movements in 1977, or the route they might have taken, can you share what you remember?
