Richard Boldon was 39 when he was last seen in West Hollywood on August 19, 1971. He left his residence at 1:30 a.m. planning to visit bars along Santa Monica Boulevard and was due to meet a friend at 8:00 p.m.; he never arrived and was reported missing two days later.

At the time he disappeared Boldon wore a blue tie-dyed tank top, white bell-bottom pants with gray stripes, deck shoes and wire-framed prescription glasses. He had a distinct appendectomy scar on his abdomen. Very few details are available about what happened that night; foul play is suspected but unconfirmed, and the case is classified as endangered missing.

Investigators from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department are still seeking information. If anyone knew Boldon, saw him on August 19, 1971, or has any details about his movements that evening, please come forward and share what you know.
