A San Antonio man has been missing for the better part of a year, and his family is desperate for any information that might lead to his whereabouts. 59-year-old Richard Reyna vanished after last being seen in August 2023, and his family's concern is growing as the months pass with no word from him.

Rosalinda Casillas, Reyna's sister, voiced her family's anguish. "We love you, all of us love you, your nieces, nephews. All of us love you, all your brothers and sisters," she said in a plea for her brother's safe return. Reyna, who has a history of mental health issues and alcoholism, was receiving disability checks, which ceased arriving a couple of months after he disappeared, Casillas revealed in a statement obtained by KENS5.

The family has been tirelessly looking for Richard, checking hospitals, mental health facilities, and even the morgue, but their efforts have yielded no results so far. Richard Reyna's disappearance was officially reported to the police in January, but leads have been scarce. "We just want closure. We want closure on it, you know," Casillas told KENS5.

Casillas laments the last interaction she had with her brother—a regrettable argument they had during his last visit. "He told me, well you know what, I just won't come anymore. I told him, 'Ricky that's not what I'm saying,'" Casillas recounted to KENS5. Despite their disagreement, Casillas insists that Richard would not just cut off contact without reaching out to his other siblings or friends. "Even if he was angry at me, you know, he would always talk to my brothers. He'd always call them from the daycare, you know come pick me up," said Casillas.

The siblings have a pact, born for the promise made to their departed parents, to look out for one another. Knowing that Richard is safe would bring a measure of solace to a family in the throes of uncertainty. "Just come back to us or just notify somebody, and they can tell us that you're okay," pleads Casillas.

Anyone with information related to the disappearance of Richard Reyna is encouraged to contact San Antonio police's Missing Person's Unit at 210-207-7660.
