Richard Edward Strehle was 26 and working as a realtor at Maloney Realty when he disappeared from South Lake Tahoe on July 5, 1973. He was last seen near his studio apartment on Judith Lane by his landlady’s husband.

Strehle left behind personal belongings, three vehicles, and a recently purchased fixer-upper home on Zuni Lane, which made his sudden disappearance especially puzzling. Friends described him as quiet and dependable; he had been mildly depressed after a recent breakup when his girlfriend moved back to Colorado, but those who knew him did not expect him to simply vanish.

The South Lake Tahoe Police Department is still investigating this unsolved case and seeks information that might explain what happened to him. Did anyone in the area know Richard Strehle or have information about his movements around July 5, 1973?
