Richard Lamson, an 18-year-old, was last seen on February 22, 1970, in San Mateo, California. On that day, Richard and his friend Peter Bonick, who was 17, both disappeared under mysterious circumstances. It is believed they left together, though details about the situation remain unclear. They were both last seen at Richard’s residence in San Mateo. Richard was described as being 6'0" tall, weighing 185 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.
At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a coral-colored jacket, a gold shirt, blue jeans, and desert boots.
Despite extensive efforts over the years, neither Richard nor Peter have been found. Their disappearances have been classified as endangered missing, and no substantial leads have emerged to clarify what happened to the two young men. Investigators are still hoping for new information that might help solve this decades-old mystery.
