Ronald Eugene Westwick, aged 34, went missing from Ames, Iowa, on March 12, 1979. At the time of his disappearance, Westwick was known to suffer from epilepsy, requiring regular medication. He lived with his parents, who have since passed away. On the day of his disappearance, Westwick was reportedly seen visiting various locations around Ames before he suddenly vanished. His car was found in the 500 block of Fifth Street, where it had accumulated multiple parking tickets.
Despite extensive investigation, his bank accounts were never touched following his disappearance, adding to the mystery surrounding his case.
Westwick's case is classified as an endangered missing person due to his medical condition, which could have placed him in immediate danger. He was described as a Caucasian male, 6'2" tall, weighing 240 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes, and tattoos on both upper arms. Though details about his clothing or personal items on the day he vanished are scarce, his condition and the sudden nature of his disappearance led investigators to consider various possibilities, including foul play or an accident.
Despite the efforts of law enforcement, there has been little progress in Westwick’s case over the years. His case remains unsolved, and no significant leads have emerged. The Ames Police Department continues to investigate, hoping to uncover any information that might help solve the nearly four-decade-old case.Last Seen: Mar 12, 1979
