Richard Vollstedt Missing Person Case

Richard Wayne Vollstedt Sr., a 67-year-old man, was last seen in Lewiston, Idaho, on July 1, 1994. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as a Caucasian male, standing at 5'11" and weighing approximately 170 pounds. He had gray hair and hazel eyes and may have had a full beard. Distinguishing features included tattoos on both of his arms and a scar on his knee from a previous fracture. It is also noted that he was missing his prostate. The clothing he was wearing on the day he went missing is not documented in the available information. Richard was known to sometimes use the aliases Ford Radek and Ford Wayne Radek Sr. He also had a permit to carry a concealed firearm, and it has been advised that caution should be used if he is approached.

The circumstances surrounding Richard's disappearance remain unclear and have left his case unsolved for decades. Shortly after he was last seen, his 1994 Mercury Cougar was discovered abandoned in the remote and rugged Hells Canyon area of Idaho. There was no sign of Richard at the scene where his vehicle was located, and no substantial leads have emerged since the initial investigation conducted by the Lewiston Police Department. His case has been classified as an "Endangered Missing," reflecting the concern for his welfare given the mysterious nature of his disappearance.

Over the years, the lack of evidence has led to various theories about what may have happened to Richard Vollstedt, though none have been substantiated. The discovery of his car in such a desolate location has been a focal point of the investigation, raising concerns about the possibility of foul play. Despite the passage of time, the investigation into Richard's disappearance remains open. His case has been entered into national missing persons databases in the hope that new information might come to light and provide answers to his loved ones. The Lewiston Police Department continues to seek any information that could help to finally resolve this long-standing mystery.
