Richard Douglas Llamas, a 50-year-old white male, was last seen on December 31, 2000, in Los Angeles County, California. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as being 5'9" tall and weighing 180 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes. He had a full beard and wore eyeglasses. Llamas also went by the nickname Rich.
Llamas suffers from bipolar disorder and may have been delusional at the time he went missing. Few details surrounding the circumstances of his disappearance have been made available. Since he was last seen, he has not been heard from again. His case is classified as an endangered missing person.
There are conflicting dates and locations associated with Richard Douglas Llamas's disappearance in online records. While The Charley Project lists his last seen date as December 31, 2000, in Los Angeles County, the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under case number MP57026 indicates his date of last contact as December 25, 1997, in Washington, D.C. The investigating agency for this NamUs entry is the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Further complicating the matter, news reports from 2019 discuss a then 69-year-old Richard Llamas with ties to the Los Angeles area who went missing from Washington D.C. in March 2018. This individual was described as schizophrenic. Additionally, an obituary was published for a Richard Douglas Llamas, born in Los Angeles in 1950, who passed away in Washington, D.C. on February 29, 2024. The obituary details his life, including his upbringing in South Pasadena, military service, and eventual relocation to Washington, D.C. It is unclear if these cases are related to the disappearance of Richard Douglas Llamas from Los Angeles County in 2000.
