Richard Boldon, a 39-year-old man, was last seen on August 19, 1971, in West Hollywood, California. He left his residence at 1:30 a.m., planning to visit bars along Santa Monica Boulevard. He was supposed to meet a friend later that evening at 8:00 p.m., but he never arrived and was subsequently reported missing two days later. At the time of his disappearance, Boldon was wearing a blue tie-dyed tank top, white bell-bottom pants with gray stripes, and deck shoes. He also wore wire-framed prescription glasses and had a distinct appendectomy scar on his abdomen.
Very few details are available about the circumstances of his disappearance, and foul play is suspected but unconfirmed.
His case has remained unsolved for decades, and no significant leads have surfaced since. Boldon’s case is still classified as endangered missing, and investigators from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department continue to seek any information that may help resolve the mystery.
Anyone with knowledge about Boldon’s disappearance is encouraged to come forward and assist with the investigation.Last Seen: Aug 19, 1971
