Richard George Rusholme was 20 when he left his home in Niagara Falls, Ontario, on May 1, 1978, to travel West with a friend in search of work and was never seen again. He had packed his belongings and appeared to have concrete plans, which makes the sudden stop in his trail particularly puzzling.

He is described as a slender Caucasian male, 5 feet 8 inches and about 161 pounds, with shoulder-length brown hair, a brown moustache, blue eyes, a scar on his right forearm and a tattoo on his left upper arm. When last seen he was believed to be wearing blue jeans, a red and black lumberjack-style shirt over a blue or black shirt, and white running shoes. The Niagara Regional Police Service lists the case as NR78-84614 and it remains open with no public breakthrough reported.

Does anyone remember Richard or have information about his plans or movements around May 1, 1978?
