Posted by admin on July 10, 2025, 20:33 162 0

A Young Marine's Mysterious Disappearance

On January 15, 2017, 18-year-old Marine Richard Joseph Arena III was scheduled to report for duty at Camp Pendleton, California. When he failed to appear, the United States Marine Corps initially classified him as a deserter. However, subsequent investigations suggested that Arena's absence might not have been voluntary, leading authorities to reclassify his status as a missing person. Despite this change, details surrounding his disappearance remain scarce. 

Physical Description and Background

Richard Arena III is a Hispanic male, standing between 5'1" and 5'2" tall, and weighing between 120 and 140 pounds at the time of his disappearance. He has black hair and brown eyes. Born on May 1, 1998, Arena was just 18 years old when he went missing. His sudden disappearance has left family, friends, and fellow service members searching for answers.
