Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP12985) and 7 other sources
Richard Hampson, a 32-year-old man from Little Falls, Minnesota, was last seen on August 5, 1989. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as a Caucasian male with brown hair, hazel eyes, standing 5'11" tall, and weighing around 160 pounds. There are very few details available regarding the circumstances of his disappearance, and much about his case remains unclear. However, it has been confirmed that Richard disappeared without leaving any known trace, prompting a long-standing investigation.

Some reports indicate that there may have been an incident before his disappearance, but the reasons why he vanished remain a mystery. Speculation exists around potential personal issues or circumstances involving a vehicle accident, yet no confirmed information about his fate or whereabouts has surfaced in the years since he went missing.

Despite the passage of time, Richard Hampson’s case remains open, and investigators continue to seek any leads that might bring clarity to what happened to him. Authorities and missing persons organizations have urged anyone with information to come forward, but as of now, no breakthroughs have been reported in this unsolved case.
