Katherine Gelaro, 46, was last seen on December 19, 2019, in Callahan, Florida. She split time between her own home in Callahan and the Jacksonville residence of her on-and-off boyfriend, Jerry Salis, and was last known to be at his home before she vanished. Her family reported her missing on December 25 after she failed to show up or contact her two sons on Christmas, which they said was out of character.

Around the time of her disappearance Salis was arrested on unrelated charges of drug possession, theft and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; his arrest occurred one day before Gelaro was reported missing. Police have not named him as a suspect, though the timing of his arrest and Gelaro’s disappearance drew attention. Several days after she was last seen, Gelaro’s silver 2013 Hyundai Elantra was recovered with the keys inside; authorities have not disclosed where the vehicle was found. Family and community searches, including wooded areas near where Salis was arrested, have produced no substantial leads.

The case remains an active missing persons investigation and unsolved. If anyone knew Katherine’s routines, movements in December 2019, or has information about where her car was recovered, please share what you know with investigators.
