Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP3904) and 7 other sources
Eric Scott Gammelgard, a 21-year-old man, was last seen on October 10, 1992, in Auburn, California. He was known to frequent the San Francisco area before his disappearance and led a high-risk lifestyle involving drug use. There were also rumors that he may have owed money to drug dealers at the time he went missing. Gammelgard was reported missing after failing to maintain contact with his family and friends, and there has been no activity on his Social Security number since.

Eric's disappearance is classified as endangered due to the potential involvement of drug-related debts. Despite investigations, no significant leads have surfaced, and his case remains unsolved. He was last known to wear jeans and a white t-shirt, standing 5'9" tall and weighing 145 pounds. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Placer County Sheriff's Department, as his family continues to seek answers in this long-standing cold case.
