Richard Lee Dryland was 42 when he vanished from Grande Prairie, Alberta, in November 1993 after his release from the Peace River Correctional Centre. The exact date in November is unclear. At the time he was experiencing homelessness and was known to travel occasionally to British Columbia.

Dryland was described as 5 feet 10 inches and about 150 pounds, with long graying hair, blue eyes, false teeth, and multiple scars and tattoos. Notable marks included a surgical scar and a metal brace at his right jaw, a scar over his left eye, a heart and dagger tattoo on his right upper forearm, and the initials ZIP and LM tattooed on his right hand. The Grande Prairie RCMP continue to list the case as open.

If anyone knew Richard’s movements in late 1993, saw him after his November release, or has information about contacts he may have had in British Columbia, please come forward.
