Richard Earl Trimble was 42 when he was last seen at his Wetumpka, Alabama home on the night of October 8, 2007, at about midnight. A military veteran, married father of three and known to his family as Zero, he was wearing a blue shirt and Nike shorts. He is described as a Black male, black hair, brown eyes, 5 feet 9 inches and about 198 pounds.

Trimble was with 27-year-old white male Joey Dale Ward when last seen; the two were reported to be traveling in a blue and tan 1987 Ford F-150 pickup. Ward had active warrants for burglary and theft and disappeared about a week after Trimble vanished. The pickup was later recovered, but it yielded no answers and neither man has been located. Authorities have classified Trimble as endangered missing and have treated foul play as a possible factor given the circumstances.

If anyone knew Richard’s movements that night, saw the pickup after October 8, 2007, or has information about Joey Dale Ward’s whereabouts, please share what was seen or heard.
