Richard Harold Turton, known as Ricky, was last seen in the Westwood neighborhood of Pittsburgh on May 27, 2014, when he left his home on Colescott Street. A surveillance photo shows him using an ATM on Noblestown Road at 3:47 p.m. to make a cash withdrawal; that ATM image and that transaction are the last confirmed traces of him and his bank account.

Richard was 57 at the time, described as White and Hispanic, about 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall and 150 pounds, with brown and graying hair and brown eyes. At the time he was wearing tan jeans, a blue and white shirt, white shoes and sunglasses. He relied on a defibrillator and took medications that were left at home, and he also suffered from depression, which increased family concern after he disappeared.

The Pittsburgh Police missing persons squad handled the case and treated it as a missing person matter with no initial suspicion of foul play. Family-led searches included handing out flyers at the local Port Authority garage; in December 2014 the family announced an undisclosed reward for information. The ATM photo remains the last known sighting. Does anyone in the Westwood area remember seeing Richard or the ATM image that day?
