Nick Salvagni

Nick Salvagni went missing December 2023.  Nick's dog was found in Jefferson County at the Stegosaurus Lot on December 2nd.  Nick's car was found in the same lot late January.  A large search effort took place March 2, 2024 and a pair of shoes were found, but nobody was certain they were Nick's.  A couple of days later surveillance video proved the shoes were Nick's. On March 6th Jefferson County Sheriff's met JTF to collect Nick's shoes.  They called in the Calvary and within hours Nick was found.

​

Nick's search brought a lot of the community out and after Nick was found several asked to volunteer further with JTF.  Overnight our case load and staff grew.  We owe Nick and his family so much and we are so grateful to have been involved.  We will forever carry Nick in our hearts forever.
