Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP14726) and 4 other sources
Johnny "Chumba" Galvan, 47, was last seen on August 23, 2008, in Tomball, Texas. Suffering from poor health due to a previous battle with throat cancer, Johnny had a tracheotomy tube and required medication to manage his pain. He was also being treated for depression and had recently started a new medication, which his family believes may have made him disoriented.

On the day of his disappearance, Johnny's credit card was used to pay for a taxi ride from his home to a Walgreens on Tomball Parkway. It is unclear whether he actually rode in the taxi or entered the store. Later that day, his roommate noticed that his bedroom door was closed, but when she checked the following day, Johnny was gone. His disappearance was reported to the Harris County Constable’s Office, and despite efforts to search nearby areas, no further leads have been uncovered. His case remains unsolved.
