Richard Wayne Vollstedt Sr., 67, was last seen in Lewiston, Idaho, on July 1, 1994. He is described as a Caucasian male, 5 feet 11 inches, about 170 pounds, with gray hair, hazel eyes and possibly a full beard. Distinguishing marks include tattoos on both arms, a knee scar from a previous fracture and he was noted to be missing his prostate. He sometimes used the aliases Ford Radek and Ford Wayne Radek Sr. and held a permit to carry a concealed firearm; caution was advised if approached.

Shortly after he disappeared, his 1994 Mercury Cougar was found abandoned in the remote Hells Canyon area of Idaho. There was no sign of Richard at the vehicle and no substantial leads emerged from the Lewiston Police Department’s initial investigation. The case is classified as Endangered Missing and remains open and entered in national missing persons databases. Few concrete details have surfaced since the car was found in that desolate location.

If anyone knew Richard, recognized his aliases, saw his vehicle in July 1994, or has information that could help resolve his disappearance, please come forward.
