Wife of Missing Rossmoor Man Offers $10K Reward

Michael A. Gal last made contact with his family via a text message at 4 p.m. May 5.

The wife of a Rossmoor man reported missing more than two weeks ago announced today she is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the whereabouts of her husband.

Michael A. Gal last made contact with his family via a text message at 4 p.m. May 5, according to Orange County sheriff's Lt. Jeff Hallock. Gal's vehicle was found by Long Beach police May 8 near El Dorado Park, the lieutenant said.

Gal's family is very concerned because he'd been feeling "unusual stress" prior to his disappearance -- why was not disclosed -- and it was uncharacteristic for him to go missing, Hallock said.
