Nickie Dawn Gallegos, a 48-year-old woman from Freeport, Florida, was last seen on March 28, 2025. Her family reported her missing to the Walton County Sheriff's Office on May 28, after not hearing from her for over a month and a half—a period of silence they described as highly unusual. Gallegos is described as 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighing between 115 and 120 pounds, with dyed red hair and brown eyes. She is known to frequent the Freeport, South Walton, and Destin areas.
The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System has listed her case under the identifier MP144650, confirming her last known contact date as March 28, 2025. As of June 2025, there have been no public updates regarding her whereabouts, and the circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain unclear.
Prior to her disappearance, Gallegos had a history of legal issues in Walton County. In November 2023, she was arrested on charges including leaving the scene of a crash involving property damage, operating a motor vehicle without a valid license, and being an out-of-state fugitive. Earlier records indicate arrests dating back to 2014 and 2015 for offenses such as battery and probation violations. While these incidents provide context to her background, authorities have not publicly linked her past legal troubles to her current missing status.
The Walton County Sheriff's Office continues to seek information from the public to aid in locating Gallegos. Individuals with any knowledge of her whereabouts are encouraged to contact the Sheriff's Office directly. Anonymous tips can also be submitted through Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers by calling 863-TIPS using the P3 Tips App, or visiting their website at EmeraldCoastCrimeStoppers.com.
