William Ward, 39, was last seen leaving his Genoa, New York, home on Thursday afternoon, June 21, 2018, saying he planned to play a round of golf. He never returned. Ward is a Caucasian male with brown hair and blue eyes, standing between 5 feet 6 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 180 to 200 pounds. His last known address was on Hill Road in the Town of Genoa.

In the weeks after his disappearance the Cayuga County Sheriff’s Office issued a public appeal on July 13, 2018. At that time Ward was wanted for failing to report a change of address to the New York State Sex Offender Registry. In July 2019 the U.S. Marshals Service joined efforts and offered a reward for information leading to his arrest, noting he was wanted for a parole violation. Ward had been sentenced in 2012 for second-degree rape and was listed by the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision as one of their most wanted fugitives.

The circumstances remain unresolved and it is unclear whether Ward disappeared voluntarily to evade authorities or for other reasons. Does anyone have information about Ward’s movements in June 2018 or sightings after June 21?
