John Basil Gelardi, 58, was last seen on July 9, 2006, in Davie, Florida. Gelardi, who was suffering from mild dementia at the time, left his residence at Everglades Mobile Home Park at around 10:00 p.m. that evening. He was driving his white 1997 Ford Taurus with the Florida license plate V52VUA. Witnesses reported that he was driving erratically, striking several objects as he left the neighborhood. Neither Gelardi nor his vehicle have been seen since.
Due to his dementia, Gelardi was prone to confusion and distraction, raising concerns for his safety. Despite a search effort, no foul play is suspected in his disappearance, but he is considered an endangered missing person.
Both local law enforcement and his family have continued to search for answers, but no significant leads have surfaced since that night in 2006.
The case remains open and unsolved, with his family and authorities urging anyone with information to come forward to help bring closure to this long-standing case.Last Seen: Jul 9, 2006
