In the winter of 2025, concern grew for 51-year-old Guy Ro De Masellis, a resident of Lenoir City, Tennessee. His family had not heard from him since February 10, 2025. When deputies from the Loudon County Sheriff's Office went to the Lazy Acres RV Park where he had been staying, they discovered that the camper he had been living in was no longer there. Further investigation revealed that on February 12, 2025, the property manager had arranged for the camper's removal. Compounding the worry, Mr. De Masellis's employer confirmed he had not been to work since early February.
The investigation into his disappearance continued for months. The Loudon County Sheriff's Office sought help from the public, asking for any information regarding his whereabouts. Reports indicated that he was last definitively seen at a local gas station on March 10th. Detectives learned that Mr. De Masellis was frequently seen being picked up and dropped off by someone in a black Kia Soul, but they were unable to identify the driver. The community shared information and provided tips throughout the investigation in the hope of bringing him home safely.
Tragically, the search for Guy De Masellis came to a heartbreaking end in June 2025. His remains were discovered in an abandoned camper near where he had been living. The camper, it was noted, did not belong to him. The Loudon County Sheriff's Office conducted a thorough investigation into his death and found no evidence of foul play. His family was notified, and the case was officially closed. The investigation began with a report of a missing person and the unusual circumstance of his dwelling being removed, leading to a months-long search that unfortunately concluded with the discovery of his passing. The Sheriff's Office expressed its condolences to his loved ones and thanked the community for their assistance in the case.
