Ricky Douglas Melton, known to family and friends as Dougie, was 27 when he was last seen in Corbin, Kentucky, on July 26, 2013. Reports say he may have been seen leaving his apartment in a black Chevrolet S-10 pickup with a UK sticker, but his own vehicle remained at the residence and his wallet, cell phone and key ring with both car and apartment keys were found inside. Those contradictory details are central to the mystery and raise the possibility he left with someone he knew.

Ricky was described as having thick, slightly curly brown hair, hazel eyes that could look green, a goatee and mustache, and faint scarring on his left hand from childhood surgery. He typically wore a black t-shirt and black jeans, baseball caps, and either tennis shoes or a pair of black leather shoes from a former job. The Kentucky State Police have investigated the case for years with few leads.

Does anyone in Corbin or the surrounding area remember seeing a black S-10 pickup near Ricky’s apartment around July 26, 2013, or have information about who he might have left with?
