[Diane Redfern]

Richard Edward Strehle, a 26 year old realtor with Maloney Realty, disappeared on July 5th, 1973. He was described, by a coworker, as quiet and dependable and was unlikely to be irresponsible. He was last seen on the evening of July 5th, 1973 near his room (studio apartment) which was located at 1211 Julie Lane, by the husband of his landlady. The same coworker stated that Strehle had been mildly depressed due to his girlfriend leaving and moving back to Colorado.

Strehle left behind all of his belongings, three motor vehicles, his studio apartment and a recently acquired "fixer upper" home on Zuni Lane.

As a Realtor, was he possibly showing a home that evening or early the next morning and met foul play? Maybe a "tour of the home" was a set up?

Richard went missing on July 5th, the day after the 4th of July....was he celebrating the holiday with friends or co workers? Im wondering if anyone else seen or spent time with him before he was spotted by the landlords husband? How was his demeanor?
