Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP34623) and 2 other sources
Bruce Coffman, a 49-year-old man from Richmond, Indiana, went missing on April 11, 2001. At the time of his disappearance, Coffman was described as being approximately 6 feet tall, weighing 150 pounds, with brown hair. There have been few developments in his case, which has remained unresolved for over two decades. The lack of new information has made his case one of many long-term missing person cases in Indiana.

Coffman's disappearance was added to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) in hopes that it might lead to a breakthrough. NamUs provides a platform for family members, investigators, and the public to share information about missing persons. Unfortunately, despite these efforts, there has been little progress in locating Coffman, and his family still seeks answers regarding what happened to him.

His case is considered a cold case, meaning that while it remains unsolved, it has not been closed, and authorities are still accepting tips and information from the public that could help lead to a resolution. Richmond, Indiana, has seen several missing person cases over the years, but Coffman’s disappearance remains one of the more perplexing, with no significant leads emerging since he vanished.
