Ricky Lee Parsons Jr. – The Charley Project

Details about his disappearance from The Charley Project

​

Details of Disappearance​

Parsons was last seen driving his tan 1991 Nissan Maxima with expensive chrome wheels and the Texas license plate number FFLA4Z in Plano, Texas on May 24, 1998. He left that afternoon with a couple of friends and has never been heard from again. He was reported missing by his brother two days later.

Parsons's vehicle was found abandoned in Red Oak, Texas three weeks after he disappeared. There was a large amount of blood in the trunk; tests proved the blood was his.

It's uncharacteristic of Parsons to leave without warning. Authorities believe he was murdered, but his remains have not been recovered. His case remains unsolved.

Teenage Wasteland

With its optimistically broad streets and oversized cantilevered homes, Plano is the suburban ideal taken to its extreme, and its exaggerated scale often gives rise to exaggerated problems. Heroin addiction is only the latest.

There was a heroin surge in the area at the time...

San Antonio is about five hours away from Plano, but I don't know the extent of the heroin surge at the time so anything is possible. Ricky could've been targeted by individuals (to support a drug habit?) in the same way this other man was.

What I don't understand is that "he left that afternoon with a couple of friends" but "was reported missing by his brother two days later." Who are these friends? Have the friends been interviewed? What did they say? And if they didn't say anything, then maybe this is the direction to look in?
