Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP100711) and 4 other sources
Richard Micheal Dingman was 40 years old when he was last known to have been in contact on May 15, 1995, in Omaha, Nebraska. Public missing-person records list him as a White/Caucasian male, approximately 6 feet 2 inches tall and 190 pounds, with sandy hair and blue eyes. His NamUs case is recorded as MP100711, and the public summary gives only a brief circumstance: “Last contact on May 15, 1995.” That spareness has become one of the defining features of Richard’s case: the available public record confirms the date, place, and identifying details, but it does not explain what he was doing that day, who last spoke with him, whether he was traveling, or what concerns first led loved ones or authorities to recognize that he was missing.

The case is connected publicly to the Council Bluffs Police Department, with case number F95-2424, and a missing-person flyer lists the department’s phone number as 1-712-890-5400 for anyone with information. The same flyer describes the known circumstances in restrained terms, stating that the last known contact with Richard was on May 15, 1995, and that few details are available. That absence of detail should not be mistaken for absence of importance. In many long-term missing-person cases, the public-facing summary may be limited while investigators and family members still carry years of questions, memories, and hope for answers.

Richard’s physical description has remained central to the public record because it may help someone recognize him or connect an old memory to his case. He is described as having sandy hair, blue eyes, and a height and build that would have made him noticeably tall. The online case listing from 411Gina classifies him as endangered missing and notes that his date of birth is unknown in the public posting. NamUs, a national information clearinghouse for missing, unidentified, and unclaimed persons cases, serves as the primary public database entry for his case, preserving the essential facts so that law enforcement, investigators, families, and the public have a single reference point for comparison and potential leads.

The publicly available information does not indicate that Richard has been found, and no online source reviewed here provides a resolution, recovery, or confirmed explanation for what happened after his last known contact. The record also does not provide a detailed timeline beyond May 15, 1995, so the exact sequence of events is unknown from the available public sources. What can be said is that Richard Micheal Dingman, a 40-year-old man from the Omaha area, disappeared from public view after his last known contact in Omaha, Nebraska; his case was later preserved in national missing-person records and associated with the Council Bluffs Police Department. The overview of the case is therefore both simple and deeply unresolved: Richard was last known to be in contact on May 15, 1995, he was described as a tall man with sandy hair and blue eyes, few details have been released publicly, and his case remains a long-standing missing-person matter in need of answers.
