Ricky Lee Frayer was 46 years old when he was last seen in Columbus, Ohio, on March 29, 2012. At the time of his disappearance, Ricky was known to experience periods of homelessness within the Columbus area. Despite these circumstances, he maintained regular contact with his mother. However, these regular communications ceased in early 2012, and his mother had not heard from him since. Concern grew as time passed without any word from Ricky, leading to his being reported as a missing person. The last time he was seen, it is believed he was wearing a red coat and blue jeans. Ricky is described as a white male with brown hair and blue eyes. At the time he went missing, he stood between 5'6" and 5'8" tall and weighed between 135 and 145 pounds. He has several distinguishing physical characteristics that could aid in his identification. Notably, part of his right index finger is missing. Additionally, he has no teeth and has a plate and pins in both of his legs as a result of prior injuries. These details provide a clearer picture of Ricky for those who may have come into contact with him. The investigation into Ricky Frayer's disappearance has been handled by the Columbus Division of Police. Information about his case has been shared through various platforms in the hope of generating leads. Despite the passage of time, his case remains open, and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance are still unclear. The lack of contact with his mother, which was out of character for him, remains a central and concerning aspect of his case. The overview of this case highlights a man who, despite facing personal challenges, maintained a connection with his family, a connection that was abruptly severed without explanation. The official date of his last contact is documented as March 29, 2012.
