Details of Disappearance
Richards was last seen in Redding, California on August 19, 2020. He went missing after dropping his fiancée and child off at Sacramento International Airport; they were on the way to New York City to live, and Richards planned to join them in a few days.

After he left them at the airport he did make it back to Redding, arriving at 1:00 a.m. He was supposed to go to Crescent City, California to go fishing with his younger brother on either August 21 or August 22, one last time before he moved across the country. He never arrived in Crescent City and also never picked up his last paycheck from his employer, the Woodside Grill. He has never been heard from again.

Several days after his disappearance, Richards's aunt found his vehicle in a parking lot in the boat ramp area at Lake Redding Park. It was locked and there was food inside it, which his aunt thought had been left there as recently as the night before she found the car. There was no sign of Richards at the scene and a search turned up no indication of his whereabouts.

He is considered missing under suspicious circumstances and his case remains unsolved.

He posted August 20, so he didn't go missing until after August 20.

Agreed. He posted quite a bit on the 19th (11 posts).
Anthony’s first post started quite early after taking his family to the airport (4:13am & 4:54am).
It appears he posted about a farewell dinner he enjoyed with a couple friends that evening, with his last post at 11:44pm.
Just looking at the posts from the 19th, Anthony appeared to be someone who wanted to spend some time with relatives & friends before leaving for a 3000 mile drive (in 4 days) to meet up with his family to start a new chapter in their lives. (IMO)
 
A whole year has gone by without any news or leads? I used to frequent the lakes and camping areas around Redding and surrounding national forests constantly as a kid. I love it there, especially during the summer. That's why this disappearance caught my eye. This is tragic :(
 
He drove back to Redding, arriving at 1:00 a.m. Richards was supposed to go to Crescent City to go fishing but he never arrived. He also never picked up his last paycheck from his employer, the Woodside Grill.

Several days after his disappearance, Richard's aunt found his vehicle in a parking lot in the boat ramp area at Lake Redding Park. Richards is 38 years old, 5'10", 120 pounds.

Interesting information about a lack of ctv at house during 20/21/22 august period when he went missing, and more photos on his father s FB page, linked to on Charley s Project.
His car was found by his aunt, locked, with food inside. Locked may mean he did it and walked away, either alone or with someone, or he met foul play and his car was not left there by himself…easy then to throw away the keys in the lake
