I think the missing person was just a MacGuffin, a plot device that gave them an explanation for why an FBI agent from San Francisco was in New Jersey investigating Westview. They haven't been mentioned since because they're not important to the story.
Also, I assume Ralph is just one of those sitcom tropes of the oft-mentioned but never seen spouse, like Vera on Cheers or Maris on Frasier. I suspect there is no Ralph and it was just part of Agatha playing along with the sitcoms.
