Anthony Dean Richards, 34, of Redding, California, was last seen August 19, 2020 after dropping his fiancée and child at Sacramento International Airport. They were moving to New York City and he planned to follow in a few days. He returned to Redding and was expected to meet his brother for a fishing trip, but never showed up and also did not pick up his final paycheck from the Woodside Grill.

Several days later a family member found Richards’ locked vehicle at Lake Redding Park near a boat ramp. Food inside suggested the car may have been placed there recently, but searches of the nearby shoreline and park turned up no sign of Anthony. The disappearance has been classified as suspicious and remains under investigation with no major breakthroughs reported.

Anyone who knew Anthony, saw him around August 19, 2020, or has information about the vehicle at Lake Redding Park is asked to contact the Redding Police Department.
