Richard Lamson was 18 when he was last seen on February 22, 1970, at his home in San Mateo, California. He and a 17-year-old friend, Peter Bonick, are believed to have left together that day; both disappeared from Richard’s residence and have not been located since. Richard was described as 6 feet 0 inches, 185 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a coral-colored jacket, a gold shirt, blue jeans, and desert boots when last seen.

Their disappearances are classified as endangered missing, and despite extensive efforts over the years no substantial leads have clarified what happened to either young man. Anyone who remembers Richard, Peter, their movements on February 22, 1970, or who has information about the case is asked to contact the San Mateo Police Department.
