Frank Merwin Gallagher, a 45-year-old man from Carmel, California, was last seen on January 3, 2017. Official records from the State of California's Department of Justice list him as a missing person. Gallagher is described as a white male, 6 feet 1 inch tall, and weighing approximately 200 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. When he was last seen, he was reportedly wearing a black jacket and brown slacks. The Monterey County Sheriff's Department is the investigating agency for his case.
There is conflicting information regarding Gallagher's status, as an obituary published in The Carmel Pine Cone on March 31, 2017, states that a "Frank Gallagher, III of Carmel, CA passed from this earth into a heavenly world of life and love on January 3, 2017." The obituary described him as a deeply beloved father, family member, and friend, known for his kindness, quick wit, and generosity.
Despite the obituary, official missing person databases continue to list Frank Merwin Gallagher as missing. There is no publicly available information from law enforcement that clarifies the discrepancy between the missing person report and the obituary, nor are there any news articles detailing the circumstances of his disappearance or the investigation. The Charley Project, a database for missing persons, notes that "Few details are available in his case."
