Omar Devia Galvis, 53, was last seen in DeFuniak Springs, Florida, on September 13, 2009. His disappearance was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as case MP150092, which records the date of last contact and anchors the case to Walton County, Florida. The NamUs entry lists the Walton County Sheriff’s Office as the investigating agency and notes that the case was created in the national database on September 11, 2025.
According to the NamUs case summary, Omar had experienced homelessness for more than three decades and was known to travel widely throughout Florida. This history of mobility, coupled with long-term housing instability, complicates reconstructing his movements after he was last seen and adds difficulty for investigators seeking consistent points of contact or routine locations to canvass.
Public records associated with the same name and location indicate that Omar stood about 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighed approximately 125 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes—details that align with identifiers commonly used by investigators and the public when searching for a missing adult. These descriptors are preserved in historical booking records from Walton County dated September 13, 2009, three days before a documented release on September 16, 2009; the records also list a birth date of February 19, 1956. While these archival entries do not explain his disappearance, they help establish a physical profile and timeframe close to when he was last known to be in the area.
The Walton County Sheriff’s Office remains the point of contact for information related to the case, as reflected in the NamUs listing, which identifies the agency and provides its public-facing website. Families and community members with information are generally encouraged—per NamUs practice—to contact the listed agency so that tips and leads can be evaluated and routed to the case investigators. The creation of the NamUs record itself signals an effort to centralize the case details and widen public awareness after many years without answers.
It has been many years since Omar was last seen, and the passage of time can weigh heavily on loved ones and those who knew him in the community. The formal entry into a national system helps preserve his information, ensures that identifying details remain searchable, and keeps open the possibility that a memory, document, or encounter—however small—could provide a lead. Anyone with knowledge of his whereabouts around September 13, 2009, or information about his travels and contacts in Florida, may hold pieces that matter to those still hoping for his safe return or for clarity about what happened.
