The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate the disappearance of Ronald Littley, a 56-year-old man who was reported missing in September 2022.
Littley was last known to be living at a home on Dixie Lane in Fernley. He was last seen in mid-September 2022. A welfare check conducted on Sept. 22, 2022, determined that Littley was not at the home on Dixie Lane, and he has not been seen or heard from since that time. His personal belongings, including his vehicles, were at the home, and he is believed to have left the area on foot.
Because of concerns related to Littley’s medical and mental health history, he was entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) as an endangered missing person. Since the initial report, deputies and detectives have conducted follow-up checks, neighborhood canvasses, and coordination with family members and partner agencies. Despite these efforts, no confirmed sightings or leads have been developed.
The investigation into Littley’s disappearance remains open and active.
The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office said a body found Jan. 7, 2025, in a wooded area south of Farm District Road and U.S. 50A was not Littley, but no positive identification on that body has been made.
As of January 2026, Ronald Littley is listed on the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) with the following link: http://www.namus.gov/MissingPersons/Case#/153841
Littley is described as a White male, born Sept. 10, 1969, approximately 6’1” and 185 pounds.
The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Ronald Littley, or who may have seen him since September 2022, to contact law enforcement.
