Frederick Richardson Sr., known to family as Boo-Boo, went missing from Stamford, Connecticut, in the spring of 2016. He was 69 when last seen on May 8 or in the early hours of May 9, 2016, and failed to return to the Bridgeport home he shared with his son. A Silver Alert was issued on May 10 after he could not be reached.

His blue 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee was found abandoned on Interstate 95 North between exits 9 and 10 on the Stamford–Darien border. Keys, wallet, cellphone and recently purchased groceries remained inside the vehicle, prompting questions about how he disappeared with personal items undisturbed. Police investigated several leads and compared the case to a local disappearance but reported no connection.

In August 2016 Frederick Jr., 37, who had been posting flyers searching for his father, was fatally shot while sitting in a parked car outside their home. Authorities have not announced a link between the son’s murder and the father’s disappearance. If anyone has information about Frederick Richardson Sr. or the circumstances around his Jeep being left on I-95, please come forward.
