Richard Joseph Gorbet was 32 years old when he was last seen on May 25, 2018, in Horseshoe Bend, Idaho. On that evening, at approximately 10:00 p.m., he had an argument with a relative and left his residence on foot. It was reported that he was in a despondent state of mind at the time of his departure. He was last seen wearing a t-shirt, dark-colored shorts, and tennis shoes. Gorbet is a Caucasian male with brown hair and brown eyes, standing at 6'3" and weighing around 235 pounds.
He has a scar and a titanium plate in his right hand.
Concerns for Gorbet's welfare were heightened by his personal circumstances. He was considered a vulnerable adult, though not mentally disabled. According to his family, he had not left his home by himself for about ten years prior to his disappearance and was dependent on his family and friends. He did not possess a driver's license. The Boise County Sheriff's Office was notified of his disappearance, and a report was filed on May 31, 2018.
In the wake of his disappearance, Gorbet's family took immediate action, searching local homeless shelters and the area along the Payette River from Horseshoe Bend to Montour. The Boise County Sheriff's Office also reached out to law enforcement in the surrounding counties to be on the lookout for him. Community members also participated in the search efforts. The case remains unsolved, and authorities continue to ask for the public's assistance.
