Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9221) and 7 other sources
Richard Allen Rhyne, a 23-year-old from Angleton, Texas, was last seen on March 22, 1977. On that day, he left his home intending to visit his workplace in Freeport, Texas, to check if he still held his job. Rhyne was driving a distinct 1969 Chevrolet 210 pickup truck with a white top, green body, and gold passenger door and fender, bearing Texas plates HR3152. He was never seen or heard from again, and both he and his vehicle disappeared without a trace.

Rhyne had epilepsy and required medication to manage his condition. He also had several notable physical characteristics, including a scar on his forehead and past fractures in his left arm and right hand. Authorities believe that foul play may have been involved in his disappearance, but no definitive answers have emerged over the years. His case remains unsolved, with investigators continuing to seek any information that could lead to a resolution.

Anyone with potential leads is encouraged to contact the Brazoria County Sheriff's Office as the case remains open and unsolved after more than four decades.
