Richard was last seen at the Medford Airport after renting a silver truck. He was supposed to follow his sister and drive from the airport to Yreka, CA. Richard never arrived to Yreka and the rental truck was found several days later, abandoned in a parking lot in Gold Hill, OR near an access point to the Rogue River. Jackson County SAR responded and searched the river and surrounding area for several days. Richard was not located. Family believes that he is "living off grid" and doesn't want to be found. Possibly using an alias.
