Richard Barnett Missing Person Case

Richard Lloyd Barnett, a 42-year-old man from Galveston, Texas, was last seen on April 5, 1982, after being released from jail. He had been arrested on April 3, 1982, but following his release two days later, he made an attempt to contact someone by phone, but left no message. After this brief phone call, Barnett was never seen or heard from again.

Barnett was described as a Caucasian male, standing between 6'0" and 6'2", weighing approximately 200-240 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He had distinctive scars on his legs and tattoos on his forearms and upper arm. On the day of his disappearance, he was wearing a brown t-shirt, green slacks, and knit shoes. His sudden disappearance has left authorities with few leads, and the circumstances surrounding his case remain unclear.

Despite ongoing investigations by the Galveston County Sheriff's Department, Barnett’s case remains unsolved. His name has been included in national missing persons databases such as NamUs, but no significant developments have surfaced in the years since his disappearance.
