Randall William Collins, 24, was last seen in Richmond, Virginia in the late-night hours of April 5, 2014, after visiting the Canal Club in Shockoe Bottom. He’s described as a Black male, 5 feet 8 inches, 150 pounds, with tattoos on both hands and Randall tattooed on his right arm. On the night he disappeared he wore a white t-shirt and blue jean shorts and was reported to have a seizure condition requiring medication.

Accounts differ about his final movements: some unconfirmed reports say he walked toward Church Hill, others say he got into a vehicle with two other Black males. Club staff reportedly escorted a highly intoxicated Collins out after he passed out; security later saw him walking east following a group. Bloodhounds were said to have tracked his scent to the edge of the Kanawha Canal, prompting sonar searches and draining of the canal that produced no evidence; a body found a month later was not his. His family has submitted DNA to databases and the investigation remains open with no confirmed evidence of foul play.

If anyone knew Randall, saw him that night, or has information about his movements after he left the Canal Club, please share what you know.
