Richard Hicks, 51, was last seen on the morning of January 24, 2014, in downtown Toronto. The last confirmed sighting was about 10:30 a.m. in the area of College Street and Spadina Avenue. He was described as a white man about 5 feet 8 inches tall, 200 pounds, with long grey hair and a grey beard. He was wearing a black three-quarter-length pea coat, black pants, and a black bandana.

Toronto Police Service’s 14 Division issued a public appeal expressing concern for his safety and asking anyone who had seen a man matching that description around College and Spadina, or who knew where he went afterward, to contact police or Crime Stoppers. Public information does not say how he arrived in that area that morning, whether he was traveling on foot or by transport, whether he had possessions, or whether there were any confirmed sightings after 10:30 a.m.

The documented facts are limited: Hicks was seen that morning in a busy part of the city, his whereabouts became unknown afterward, and police sought public help because of concern for his wellbeing. Does anyone who was in the College and Spadina area that morning remember seeing him or have information about his movements afterward?
