Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP115024)
In the heart of Dallas, Texas, a family's life was disrupted when 50-year-old Richard Holmes was last seen on November 2, 2023. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as a white male, standing at a height of five feet nine to five feet ten inches tall, and weighing between 140 and 150 pounds. He has blond or strawberry blond hair and blue eyes. The circumstances surrounding his last known moments are sparse, leaving his loved ones and investigators with a painful void of information. The Dallas Police Department is handling the investigation into his disappearance.

Details regarding what Richard was wearing at the time he went missing or what his plans may have been have not been made widely public. This lack of information creates a challenging landscape for those searching for him, as every small detail can be a crucial piece of the puzzle in a missing person's case. The absence of specific circumstances of his disappearance only adds to the mystery and the distress of those who are anxiously awaiting any news of his whereabouts.

The investigation into Richard Holmes's disappearance remains active, with law enforcement seeking any information that could lead to answers. The case, cataloged under NamUs missing persons case MP115024 and Dallas Police Department case number 195377-2023, is a stark reminder of the many individuals who go missing each year, leaving behind families caught in a state of unknowing. The overview of the case is one of limited public information, a common and difficult reality in many missing persons investigations, where each day without answers compounds the anguish for the family and friends of the missing.
