Richard Wayne Arnold III, often called "Richie," was last seen on April 15, 2015, around 1:00 p.m. in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. He was 23 years old at the time. Richie had connections to both Rupert, where he had a residence, and Maxwelton, where he maintained an apartment.
At the time of his disappearance, Richie did not have a job or a vehicle, which may have limited his ability to travel. After losing contact with family and friends — something that was considered unusual for him — he was reported missing by the family of his ex-girlfriend. Authorities believe he may have traveled to Fayette County, West Virginia, but no confirmed sightings have been reported. His case remains open and under investigation.
