Details of Disappearance:
Riley disappeared from a nursing home in Lutcher, Louisiana on February 6, 1990. He’d been living there for almost a year. Staff found him trying to leave around 4:00 a.m. and sent him back to his room. But when they checked again shortly after, he was gone.

Police searched everywhere, but they never found him. Before he disappeared, Riley often walked or biked around town. However, nobody saw him after he left the nursing home, so police think he’s not still nearby. The mystery of what happened to him remains unsolved.
