Cory Keith Kelley-Armer, a 37-year-old father of three, was last seen in Atascadero, California, in April 2020 after being released from jail earlier that month. Family contact ended at the end of April when he was with his mother in Atascadero; he had been transient and did not carry a cell phone but normally spoke with his mother at least weekly. He wasn’t reported missing until August 11, 2020, because of his itinerant lifestyle, but relatives grew alarmed after he missed two of his children’s birthdays.

At the time he vanished he was described as about 6 feet tall, 175 to 200 pounds, with blond/brown hair, brown/hazel eyes, a broken front tooth and numerous tattoos — full sleeves, two chest tattoos, a woodpecker on his right arm, nude women on his abdomen and the word Rebel on his back. Investigators note he frequently traveled between San Miguel and Santa Margarita. The Atascadero Police Department, assisted by the San Luis Obispo County District Attorney’s Bureau of Investigation, followed up on leads but by August 2021 had not located him or explained his disappearance.

Does anyone who knew Cory, or who lived in Atascadero, San Miguel or Santa Margarita in spring 2020, have information that might help investigators?
