- Details of Disappearance:
- Rudolph disappeared from Camarillo, California on June 20, 2006. His neighbor reported him missing because he never left without telling anyone, and this was unlike him.
Three days later, his maroon 2000 Ford Contour (license plate 4JVD648) was found at Mugu Rock beach. Police initially thought he might have committed suicide or had a surfing accident, but his family said he wasn’t depressed and wouldn’t have surfed there because he considered it dangerous. Dogs couldn’t track him from his car.
In 2009, police changed their theory, believing he was murdered and his car was left at the beach to hide what happened. Rudolph was involved in land deals in Costa Rica, planning to sell his house and move there to develop the land into condos. Police think these deals might be connected to his disappearance. They have a suspect but haven’t revealed their identity.
Rudolph was a friendly, outgoing person, and he loved surfing. His case is unsolved, and foul play is suspected.
