Joseph Slaughter, 66, disappeared after a family visit on Bland Street in Richmond, Virginia, in early June 2005. At the time he was homeless and led an itinerant life, moving between Richmond, Goochland and Philadelphia to visit family. That lifestyle, and an inconsistent daily routine, made tracking his movements difficult.

He was known to frequent areas in Richmond such as Eighth and Grace Streets and Dock Street. His typical clothing was described as multiple layers and a wool cap. The Richmond Police Department has kept the case open and has periodically asked the public for help, but very few new details have emerged.

If anyone knew Joseph, saw him in Richmond, Goochland or Philadelphia in June 2005, or has information about his whereabouts, please come forward. How might readers with connections to those neighborhoods help this family today?
