- Ranelli disappeared in St. Paul, Minnesota. His family last heard from him on May 17, 1977, and he was last seen three days later. He vanished without a trace.
A friend, Christopher Freeman, disappeared a few weeks earlier. The two men had run a redwood shop together in nearby East St. Paul, but it had closed earlier that year.
Some people think Ranelli and Freeman disappeared together, maybe on a trip to Pennsylvania. Neither disappearance has ever been solved, and Ranelli has been officially declared dead.
