Background
Ronald Henry Jr. grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in a family of seven siblings.
At the time of his disappearance, Henry was living with his youngest brother in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He was in a seven-month relationship with his girlfriend Alicia who he met at work.
Henry took a live-in job at a farm in Platteville, Wisconsin in December 2022. He had done it numerous times before, and had known the people he was staying with for years.
Disappearance
On December 1, 2022, Ronald Henry left his home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and took a Greyhound bus to Platteville, Wisconsin, about two hours away. He traveled there for a live-in farm job with a friend and his uncle, and was supposed to return back home to Milwaukee on December 17.
On December 3, 2022, Henry spoke on the phone with his mother and everything seemed normal.
On December 4, 2022, Henry and his friend watched football all day before spending the night out at several bars in Platteville. Around midnight, Henry spoke to his girlfriend on the phone and said he would call her again the next day during his lunch break at noon.
On December 5, 2022, Henry was last seen by his friend at 3:30 am, texting on the couch at the farmhouse on Condry Road in Platteville, Wisconsin.

When the owner of the farmhouse woke up at 7:30 am he noticed Henry was gone and the front door to the residence left wide open.
The owner later found a voicemail left from Henry at noon on December 5, stating “Jim, it’s Ronald. Call me back right away.” He reportedly sounded anxious in the message. This is the last known communication from Henry.
