Richard Hudson was 39 when he was last seen leaving the grounds of Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital in Marlboro, New Jersey, on March 9, 1991. A United States Marine Corps veteran who served in Vietnam, he was a patient at the facility and at the time of his disappearance was wearing a navy blue down jacket, tan pants, and sneakers. He is described as a white male with brown hair and blue eyes, 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 158 pounds, with a scar on his knee, a scar on his right leg, and a tattoo on his right arm.

Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital had a troubled history and, before Hudson disappeared, was the subject of frequent complaints about patient care and safety, including reports of patients leaving the grounds without authorization. The hospital closed in 1998 and was later demolished, which complicates efforts to reconstruct events from 1991. Hudson’s case remains logged in national missing persons databases and unresolved.

If anyone knew Richard, saw him around Marlboro in March 1991, or has information that could help, please come forward.
