Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP124962) and 3 other sources
Bruno Gualazzi, an 87-year-old man, went missing from El Centro, California, on July 4, 2010. At the time of his disappearance, Bruno was believed to be driving a maroon 1999 Chevrolet truck with the California license plate number 4SVJ780. He was last seen in El Centro, a city in Imperial County, and he has not been heard from since. Bruno is described as a Caucasian male, approximately 5'8" tall, weighing around 145 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes. Few details are available regarding the circumstances of his disappearance, which remains unsolved to this day.

The El Centro Police Department has been leading the investigation into Bruno’s disappearance and is seeking any information from the public that could help locate him. Authorities continue to encourage anyone who may have seen Bruno or his vehicle to come forward. The lack of significant clues in the case has made it challenging for investigators, and Bruno's disappearance is classified as an "endangered missing" case. Despite several years passing since his disappearance, the case remains open, and the family and law enforcement are still hoping for new leads.

Bruno's case has been featured on several missing person platforms, including The Charley Project, which provides details on his case in an effort to raise awareness and encourage public assistance. The community is urged to report any information, no matter how minor it may seem, to the El Centro Police Department at 760-352-2111 or to the California Department of Justice Missing Persons hotline at 1-800-222-3463.
