Harold William Galvis, 26, was last seen in Salt Lake City, Utah, on August 28, 2001. A Venezuelan national with a degree in materials engineering, he had been living in the area about eight months while visiting his sister and planning to apply to a doctorate program at Cambridge University in the UK. He supported himself with temporary work such as washing cars.

At the time of his disappearance Galvis was diagnosed with schizophrenia and had been prescribed medication he was not taking, a fact investigators say likely contributed to memory lapses. He spoke limited English and left his apartment on August 28 leaving all of his belongings behind. Some have speculated he might have tried to return to Venezuela or Argentina, but there is no confirmed evidence to support that.

Searches have produced no confirmed sightings or leads, and he is classified as an endangered missing person. If anyone knew Harold’s movements, places he frequented, or has information about his possible travel after August 28, 2001, please contact local authorities.
