Poor kid. He clearly was.going through a difficult time at only 13-years-old. I don't like how his profile makes it sound like he was just socializing with some peers and got separated. That's not what happened. All IMO.

He would be 35-years-old today.

Justin Lee Richardson – The Charley Project

"Investigators believe foul play is possible in Justin's case; they think he could have been killed in the forest shortly after his disappearance. If he did leave of his own accord, he may have tried to go to Chicago, Illinois to see his girlfriend.

Justin lived with his father in Tusayan at the time of his disappearance, and is described a popular teen with many friends..."

I wonder where in Moqui Lodge he went? Is it a hotel, campsite or trailer park?

It was torn down in December 2001, shortly after his disappearance. At the time, it seemed to be reserved cabins?
