There’s continued concern for the well-being of a central Kansas man reported missing in August 2015. Gale “Ralph” Keilman was last seen walking around Peabody, Kan., on Aug. 17, 2015. Ralph disappeared from the Peabody Health and Rehab Center. He was wearing a dark-colored shirt and gray shorts.
His family said that Ralph is unable to speak. He can hear, though, and communicates with sign language and can write out messages. Ralph does have a mental illness — and he’ll often appear “out of it” or scared — since he’s not taking medication, his family said.
Some hope neighbors in the community will check tree lines, wells and abandoned cars to see any sign of Ralph.
