Ricardo Neria, a 77-year-old man, was last seen on April 25, 2016, in Odessa, Texas. He was known to frequent the Salvation Army shelter in Odessa for meals, as he lived as a homeless person for several years. Originally from El Paso, he often traveled between Odessa and El Paso, where his closest relatives resided. Neria was dealing with multiple health issues, including dementia and recently treated skin cancer, which had resulted in part of his nose being removed.
Neria’s disappearance was reported on May 9, 2016, about two weeks after he was last seen at the shelter. Despite investigations, no significant leads have emerged, and his social security checks have remained untouched since his disappearance. The family has expressed frustration with the police's handling of the case, but the Odessa Police Department maintains that they exhausted their resources and continue to await new information.
His family, particularly his nephew, continues to seek closure, though no further evidence has come to light over the years. Ricardo Neria's case remains unsolved, and investigators are still open to any information that could provide answers.Last Seen: Apr 25, 2016
