- Details of Disappearance:
- Gina Ellison disappeared on June 19, 1990, after going for a jog near her San Jose apartment. Her husband, Andray, reported her missing two hours later. Gina, a petty officer in the Naval Reserves and a college student, was known to have marital problems with Andray; she had previously left him but returned due to financial issues, and had even attempted suicide after an argument with him. She’d also told friends she planned to leave him before she disappeared.
Andray claimed he was home playing bass guitar when Gina went jogging. A large search found nothing. While initially cooperating with the police, Andray’s behavior became more suspicious. Four months after Gina vanished, he lost his Air Force job due to drug use. He then robbed several banks, saying he needed money. Police found a gun at his home when they arrested him. He was convicted and served 16 years in prison.
A tip suggesting Gina was held captive proved false. Although Andray is considered a person of interest, there’s no evidence directly linking him to Gina’s disappearance. Police investigated the case as a possible homicide, but no body or definitive proof of foul play was ever found. Gina left home with no money and has never been seen or heard from since.
