Richard Randolph Barnette, reported as a 63-year-old White man, was last seen at his home in Bristol, Virginia, on January 16, 2023.

Family members say he told them he was going with a friend to West Virginia to do masonry work; that stated plan is the primary lead in the public timeline. The Bristol, Virginia Police Department is listed as the investigating agency, and authorities asked anyone with information to call 276-645-7400.

Can anyone who knew Richard, traveled between Bristol and West Virginia in mid-January 2023, or has information about his plans contact the Bristol Police?
