Matthew Alan Richard, known at times as Matt and also recorded under the surnames Richard-Taylor, Taylor-Richard or Taylor, was 16 when he disappeared while traveling from British Columbia to Canmore, Alberta. On October 30, 1999, he and a friend were at a truck stop in Sicamous, BC. He was last seen there after reportedly accepting a ride from a truck driver; the pair had stopped in Sicamous because of weather and spent the night at the truck stop.

Matthew was described as 6 feet 1 inch, about 181 pounds, with blond straight hair, blue eyes, a slender build, fair complexion and a chipped front tooth with some decay. He was believed to have been wearing a cotton hoodie, t-shirt, jeans and running shoes. Classified as an endangered runaway at the time, he struggled with substance abuse and had a diagnosis of ADHD. Sicamous RCMP handle the investigation; no confirmed sightings or significant leads have emerged since 1999.

Does anyone have memories of that truck stop, the route between Sicamous and Canmore in late October 1999, or information that might help locate Matthew?
