Leslie Raymond Ritchey, Sr. disappeared from the streets of Akron, Ohio, in the early 1990s. He was last seen in the vicinity of the 40 block of Main Street. At the time he was in his mid-fifties and experiencing homelessness, but routinely contacted relatives in Pennsylvania and Florida; those regular calls stopped after his disappearance.

When last seen he wore blue jeans, a light blue jacket, and tennis shoes. He is described as a white male about five feet seven to five feet eight inches tall, roughly 150 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, an artificial left eye, and dentures. Family reported he was suffering severe memory loss, a vulnerability that could have affected his ability to care for himself or reach out for help.

The Akron Police Department handled the investigation, which has produced very few new leads. His whereabouts remain unknown and the circumstances of his disappearance are unresolved. Does anyone have information about Leslie’s time in Akron in the early 1990s or recall seeing him near Main Street?
