GraceG, Hi I'm Randy Collins, Ritch's brother. I'd like to have a sit down and talk with you if possible. I'm not sure how to go about getting certified as britney has done, but all I want is to find out what happened to my brother.
I hope you'll contact me Britney. This is Randy, Ritch's brother.Whatcom County Sheriff's Office
Ritchie Ambrose Collins was listed as missing on April 30th after National Park Service rangers reported that his vehicle had been parked at the Colonial Creek Campground for about two weeks. Deputies have searched miles of trails around the campground in the North Cascades National Park, but have not located him.
Ritchie is 58 years of age, 6'-1" tall and weighs 275 pounds. He has brown eyes and brown hair.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to contact Detective Ken Gates at 360-778-6613.
Thanks Paul. I need to speak with the sheriff's office on Monday, but I don't know what I can or should share on here. Let's just say weeks before we tried to do concerning Ritchie. I went through the verification link, I'm no computer expert, but it seemed it just changed my homepage and browser?
Hi Penny, again, I'd like to talk to the detective first, I'm not sure what if anything they do NOT want let out. But I have also spoken to the neighbor, yes it was a small bag like a school backpack, I would assume yes his mail is piling up, I went to two post offices here , spoke to the postmasters and the relevant one said he would get back with me on the dates and if the carrier remembers about when it started to accumulate. The apartment was a mess, which is VERY unlike my brother, yes there was a computer which has been removed from the dwelling. I have no idea if the bag was found in the vehicle. I do know there are things they have not made public and would like to speak to them personally to see if there is some reason why. The article said they have exhausted all leads, but I'm not sure how that can be when they haven't even spoken to all the family yet. As far as the bag being in the vehicle or not, the neighbor said she had seen him a few days before with that bag, it doesn't necessarily mean he had it with him at the time?
I'm not sure how you found out about your Dad Britney, as for me , my youngest son sent me a text on Sept 2 2019. Helluva way to find out. Please contact me so we can get together and try to figure this out.
Thank You Luckyzmom. I would have been here much sooner, as I am sure Britney and any other family would have been if we had known sooner. In this day and age to find out 5 months after the fact is quite shocking to say the least. Let's just say some family found out much sooner and "forgot" to let the rest know.
It's all good. My one and only concern is where is Ritchie. Everything else is inconsequential. My only reservation is, he may not want to be found.
