Pretty strange story honestly.

Cliff notes:
6ft3 father of two goes for a trail run early morning and isn't seen or heard from since 6a Friday. Dude either died by animal/accident or does not want to be found.

The initial post I saw from his wife on this said he "walked into the woods behind our house and didn't come back" which struck me as odd.

The trail running makes a bit more sense but really hoping for the best on this one.

Could be a gator.

Some are saying that there are old water wells in the area / woods that one could accidentally fall in. What is strange is that his family says that he never goes for walks before work, but they found his Yeti on a trail and his back gate was open.

This has now been picked up by the Houston area news channels. The reports have new details that weren't in the initial missing persons alerts.

His wife, Callie, says he typically wakes up for work around that time around 5 or 6 a.m., but that morning, when she didn't hear him getting ready, she got up and found the back gate open. Her husband was nowhere to be seen.

Callie said while Colby enjoys hiking and meditating in quiet areas from time to time, it's not part of his morning pre-work routine.



He gone....

I wonder if there were any unusual bank transactions that took place recently. Any clothes missing?

Isn't it strange that they found his water bottle on the trail and the back gate was open ... unless he was attempting to stage something. Have they said where his phone, wallet and keys are located?

If I've learned anything from police procedurals, you buy a burner phone and leave your regular phone behind.

I chuckled, but leaving two kids? POS move any way you slice it...assuming the theory that he is disappearing himself.

Best guess is the dude peaced out.

He might have taken the Tornado bus to Monterey and is sitting on the balcony of his rental smoking a j and reading this thread. We just don't know.

I'll throw out a guess. It's was probably an early morning rendezvous to get a head start on Pride Month IYKWIM and it went bad.

"What's frustrating and what is fueling the online speculation is there is so little to go on," Fox said regarding comments on social media alleging his wife was not being upfront with law enforcement. "There is so little to go off of and we are desperate to find something that would give us more of an idea on where to work."

Fox said Richards started a new job as a design technician with M&S Engineering in March. He and his wife are happily married and their children "were his world," Fox said.

"They have a good relationship," Fox said. "They weren't on the outs. They love each other very much."
Thanks, TexAgs.

His wife has posted on FB. She's already posting that she's shutting down comments. I doubt Texags is even on her radar.

But if it is on her radar she should post and say hey.

By looks of social media, he is in fact still missing though

Presumably the investigation into his whereabouts will remain ongoing.

The family is in contact with Dickinson-based Texas EquuSearch to try and continue search efforts through the weekend.
...

"The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office has used extensive resources to search for Mr. Richards, including partnerships with multiple agencies comprising of the Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Rangers, and Montgomery County Search and Rescue," Spencer said. "We have repeatedly deployed resources that range from ground foot searches, drones, ATVs, horses, helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft and canine units, to countless other technological assets.

"While extensive search efforts have not been successful, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate his disappearance."

...

Richard's cousin Allison Fox is representing the family and said her family is continuing to organize search efforts with volunteers.

The family has set up a Help Us Find Colby Richards page on Facebook to share information about the searches. On Wednesday the family asked anyone who might see Richards not to make contact with him and call 911.

Kind of crazy people can still vanish like this nowadays, whether by his choice or someone else's.

Seems like an odd thing to say.

What's their reasoning here?

This is a really odd story all the way around.

Something is not right here. No clue what it is but something is weird.

Maybe they figured out Daddy hasn't been taking his vitamins.

Or maybe they're scared of the public after the comments you left on her facebook page.

I do not condone leaving your children, but this sounds amazing. Monterey looks amazing, and I think is still one of the few safe/upscale cities in Mex.

Reminds me of the story of that lady from Brazoria county a while back that drove to NOLA parked in the quarter and disappeared for a month or so before she turned up.

He disappeared right behind my house. My guess is he does not want to be found….

Texas EquuSearch has a lot of law enforcement contacts and I think it will be very telling if they don't commit any resources to a search through the weekend.

Lol, so the Woodlands is full of swingers, Mexican cartel money families and now a burgeoning DL community!? Who knew??
