Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP148548)
Garrett Neal Ellis, 44, was reported missing after he was last known to be in Carmichael, California. The available public record describes him as transient at the time, and notes that he was last seen sleeping on the front porch of a family residence. His known routine reportedly included spending time in and around West Sacramento, which was highlighted as an area he frequented.
In the identifying details provided publicly, Ellis is listed as a White/Caucasian male, approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall and about 180 pounds. He is described as having gray or partially gray hair and blue eyes. The clothing detail associated with the last known sighting includes a camouflage raincoat. These details are typically shared to help members of the public and local services recognize someone who may be in need of assistance or unable to safely reconnect with loved ones on their own.
The investigating agency for the case is the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office. A case number is associated with the report through that agency, and a named detective is listed as the point of contact. In situations involving adults who are transient or experiencing housing instability, timelines can be difficult to confirm and witnesses may be limited, which can make early leads especially hard to develop. Even so, reports often encourage anyone with direct, first-hand information to contact law enforcement rather than approaching a potentially vulnerable person directly.
This case is no longer an active missing-person investigation. The public case record indicates a resolution status of Alive, meaning Garrett Neal Ellis has been located alive. No further public details are provided about the circumstances of his location or the exact date he was found, and it is common for those specifics to remain limited out of respect for privacy and safety. While the outcome offers relief, cases like this still represent a painful stretch of uncertainty for family and friends, and they can leave lasting emotional impacts even after a person is safely found.Last Seen: Apr 1, 2025
