Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP17013) and 3 other sources
John Anthony Gilardo, aged 61, was last seen on January 1, 1995, in San Diego, California. Gilardo kept in regular contact with his sister by phone, but after he stopped calling her, she grew concerned. When she attempted to report him missing, authorities initially dismissed the case, assuming he had traveled to Mexico voluntarily, as he frequently made trips there. Because of this assumption, no missing person report was filed until July 2012, nearly 17 years after his disappearance.

Gilardo’s case has seen little development, and few details are available regarding the circumstances of his disappearance. Described as 5'6" and weighing approximately 190 pounds, he had gray hair and brown eyes. There have been no significant leads or confirmed sightings of him since he vanished. His case remains unsolved, and the San Diego Police Department continues to list him as a missing person.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the authorities in hopes of uncovering more details about what happened to Gilardo.
