Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP18066) and 4 other sources
Richard Massaro, a 28-year-old man, was last seen on June 26, 1992, in Redlands, California. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans. Massaro, who stood 5'9" tall and weighed between 140 and 150 pounds, had brown hair and brown eyes. It is believed that he may have traveled to the San Bernardino Mountains after his disappearance.

One concerning detail of Massaro's case is that he was possibly suicidal at the time he went missing. Despite searches and efforts to locate him, there has been little information to explain his whereabouts since that day. His case remains classified as endangered missing, and authorities continue to seek any leads that may provide answers.

If you have any information regarding Richard Massaro's case, the Redlands Police Department remains the primary investigating agency.
