Richard Arena III, an 18-year-old Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton, California, was last seen on January 15, 2017. He failed to report for duty that day and was subsequently listed as a deserter by the United States Marine Corps.

This has led some to believe that his disappearance could involve foul play or coercion, but official details remain limited.
