Ricky Deshane Roden, a 41-year-old man, was reported missing from Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was last seen on April 2, 2025. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as being approximately 5'10" tall and weighing between 200 and 207 pounds, with red-auburn hair and blue eyes. Roden was known to be transient in the Tulsa area. The Tulsa Police Department opened an investigation into his disappearance and sought help from the public to find him. Concerns for Roden's welfare grew as time passed with no contact. Law enforcement, led by Detective Patrick Yerton, actively worked to piece together the events leading up to his disappearance. The case was entered into national missing persons databases as efforts to locate him continued. His disappearance was noted during a period of a broader increase in missing person reports in Tulsa. Ultimately, Ricky Roden was located, and he is no longer considered a missing person. The specific details and exact date of his being found have not been widely publicized by authorities. It was confirmed, however, that shortly after he was located, he was arrested in connection with a stolen car investigation. He was taken into custody by Tulsa Police inside a vehicle near 31st Street and Sheridan. While the circumstances of his initial disappearance remain unclear, his safety was confirmed. The focus of law enforcement shifted to the criminal charges he is now facing.
