Richard Arnold III, 23, of Maxwellton, West Virginia, was reported missing on April 15, 2015. He was last seen in the Maxwellton area. Family and friends describe him as friendly and well connected to the community; his sudden disappearance prompted immediate concern and organized search efforts.

In the days after he went missing, loved ones distributed flyers, used social media, engaged local media and held searches. Local law enforcement opened an investigation that included interviews and searches of nearby areas, but initial efforts did not produce significant leads. As weeks became months with no credible sightings or substantive evidence, the lack of clear information made it difficult to determine what happened.

The case remains open. The family has continued outreach, vigils and community events to keep awareness alive. If anyone in Maxwellton or the surrounding area has information about Richard’s last movements or possible sightings, please come forward.
