Richard James Romano was 28 when he was last seen at his Largo, Florida home on March 4, 1980. That day he was visited by his brother and sister-in-law; after their visit he was never heard from again. Romano is described as 6 feet 1 inch, 195 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

Reports say Romano had ties to drug trafficking in the Miami area, and that detail contributed to his brother waiting until October 1984 to report him missing. The case is classified as endangered missing and remains unsolved under the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, with no solid leads publicly reported.

If anyone knew Richard’s routines, associates, or saw him in March 1980, please contact the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office with any information.
