Rodolfo Rudy Ramirez, 74 and living with dementia, went missing July 6, 2019, after wandering away from a campsite at Crow Creek on the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming. He was last seen wearing a blue and gray Columbia jacket, a white dress shirt, black jeans, and black dress shoes.

Search teams used helicopters, drones and cadaver dogs and volunteers scoured rough terrain around Black Mountain and the Absaroka Range, but no trace of Rudy was found. Cold nights and rugged wilderness were significant factors; his family continued searching for months after official efforts were called off and raised funds in Arizona for private searches.

Rudy’s family remembers his kindness and remains hopeful for closure. If anyone was at Crow Creek or the nearby Black Mountain and Absaroka Range around July 6, 2019, or has information about his movements that day, please come forward.
