Richard John Dixon was 53 when he was reported missing from Elgin, Illinois, with his last known contact dated March 15, 2018. He was reportedly driving a gray 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee with an IBEW sticker in the back window.

The last public timeline is brief: after leaving a friend’s house in Elgin, Richard texted his son to say he was on his way home. That message is the final confirmed communication; he never arrived home and was not heard from again. Aside from the vehicle description and that final text, very few verified details about his movements or sightings after March 15, 2018, have been released.

Anyone who saw a gray 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee with an IBEW sticker in the Elgin area on or after March 15, 2018, or who knew Richard’s routines, places he visited, or possible stops between the friend’s house and his home is asked to come forward with information.
