Richard Gary Parker, 76, of Aquilla, Texas, went missing after leaving his home about 11:30 p.m. on April 24, 2010. He drove a silver and black 2004 Dodge extended cab truck with Texas plates toward Waco and had type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and Alzheimer’s disease. He left without his necessary medications.

On the morning of April 25 he was reportedly seen near Lake Brownwood, roughly 100 miles from home. His truck was later found abandoned at the Mountain View Lodge near the lake, where it had been parked for several days. Nearby were his shoes and some opened soda cans, but Parker himself was not found despite extensive searches, including divers.

In 2022 human remains discovered near Lake Brownwood were later identified as Richard Parker, bringing closure to the long search.

If anyone knew Richard or was in the Lake Brownwood area in April 2010, can you share anything that might clarify what happened?
