Leo Francisco Moreno Ceballos, 43, from New Jersey, was last seen January 8, 2023, in Hollywood, Florida after telling his wife he was going for a drive to clear his mind following a church visit. He had been struggling with depression since the pandemic. Family reached out later that afternoon and received a brief text at 5:45 p.m. saying he was fine.

On January 9 his vehicle was found abandoned and damaged on the side of I-75 near Sheridan Street with signs it had struck a light pole; no blood or evidence of injury was found inside. Canine units and other searches of the area turned up no further clues. He was wearing a dark green polo shirt, blue jeans and green sneakers, and has a distinctive lion tattoo. He is 5 feet 8 inches and about 130 pounds. The Hialeah Police Department and his family are asking for public help; he did not have money or credit cards with him when he disappeared.
