A Routine Morning Turns Mysterious
On the morning of October 30, 1998, 27-year-old Dalrico Cortez Braxton, affectionately known as "Rico," left his home on Midwood Street in Lansing, Michigan, to head to work at Pawnbrokers Plus on Waverly Road. It was a routine day, and there was no indication that anything was amiss. However, Rico never arrived at his workplace and has not been seen or heard from since that day. His sudden disappearance left his family, friends, and the community in shock and searching for answers.
A Man Known and Loved
Rico was a 5'9", 200-pound African-American man with black hair and brown eyes. He was known for his friendly demeanor and was well-liked by those who knew him. There is no public record of him having any history of disappearing or cutting off communication, making his sudden absence all the more perplexing. Some reports indicate that he may have used the alias "Tony Smith," but it's unclear how widely this name was used or known.

Dont support this families sick parade of using a monster to get sympathy. He was never ashamed of who he was. He loudly boasted his crimes and justified them. The family shouldn't sit there and pretend, how far from reality are they to sit and post this man publicly on news outlets, websites, knowing who he is. Do they need attention that badly?
