James Richard Larabee, known as Rick, was 53 when he was last seen in Davis, Oklahoma, on September 28, 2013, the day of his high school class reunion. A divorced father of five who lived in Denton, Texas, he sent one final text on October 3 saying he was heading to northwest Oklahoma for a nine-day trip; his sister never heard from him again. His mother, who was gravely ill with Stage 4 cancer, died a few days after that last contact.

Investigators later learned Rick had quit his job and cashed out his 401 shortly before the reunion. A friend reported he had spoken about wanting to just disappear or go up in the woods and kill himself. Rick’s 2007 Honda Civic was sold in Georgia in April 2015 to someone who confirmed the seller was not James Larabee, and his Texas driver’s license lapsed in 2016 and was not renewed. A reporting mix-up meant no missing-person report was filed until 2018, hampering early investigative efforts.

No evidence of foul play has been reported and his whereabouts remain unknown. Does anyone have memories of Rick in 2013 or information about his movements after the reunion?
