Richard Edward Goodwin, a 45-year-old man known as Rich, disappeared from his home in Henderson, Nevada, under puzzling circumstances. A long-term employee with the Nevada Department of Corrections, he had the day off from work when he was last seen at his residence in the 2000 block of Trossachs Street. His wife reported seeing him get into the passenger side of a newer model, champagne-colored sedan with dark tinted windows, a vehicle she did not recognize. At the time, he was wearing a khaki shirt, blue shorts, and white tennis shoes. It is believed he did not take any of his personal belongings with him, which investigators have deemed suspicious. Goodwin was described as a Caucasian male with graying, salt-and-pepper colored hair and green eyes that slanted somewhat downward at the outer corners. He stood between 5 feet 10 inches and 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighed between 190 and 205 pounds. At the time of his disappearance, he had a well-trimmed mustache. He has very little body hair. His disappearance has left his family with many unanswered questions and a sense of unresolved loss. The investigation into Richard Goodwin's disappearance has been ongoing, but significant leads have been scarce. The lack of personal effects taken from his home and his entry into an unknown vehicle have been key points of concern for law enforcement. The Henderson Police Department has been handling the case and encourages anyone with information to come forward. Despite the passage of time, his case remains an active and open investigation, a painful reality for a family still hoping for answers. The circumstances surrounding his last known moments continue to be a focal point for investigators, who consider his disappearance to be suspicious.
