I’ve been thinking a lot about Rick’s case lately, specifically the restaurant where he was last seen. Does anyone know which restaurant it was or if the employees there were ever questioned? It’s been over 30 years, and I keep wondering if there’s something overlooked at that location. Maybe someone remembers seeing him or overheard a conversation. Those little details can sometimes crack these cases wide open. Hoping there’s still someone around from back then who might have a piece of the puzzle without even knowing it. It would be great if that place still exists and could be approached for any old employee records or local gossip that might have circulated back then. Just trying to stir the pot here and see if it leads anywhere. Thoughts?
I recently came across Richard Ashley's case, and something that caught my attention was the detail about his old wrist injury. It's interesting how seemingly small details like that can sometimes break a case wide open if the right person hears about it. I'm curious if anyone has discussed how this might have affected his daily life? Could it have been noticeable enough to someone he encountered around the time he disappeared? I know it’s a long shot, but maybe someone out there recalls a tall guy with red hair and a healed wrist injury from around Springfield in 1986. This might be the kind of specific detail that jogs someone’s memory after all these years. Thoughts? Anyone else have ideas on this?
