from los2188's link:

On the video, Pisano appears to see the police gathered around the vehicle and becomes extremely nervous and walks into the woods north of the store.“He suffers from mental illness, most specifically paranoia.”

Sounds like he got spooked when the police responded to the report of dogs left in the car. I'm surprised he hasn't been found yet, hope he's okay. The Morning Journal article also mentions that he'd bought two tents, a backpack, and beef jerky...if he has water he'll probably be okay for a bit.

The "woods north of the store" aren't that big: https://www.google.com/maps/place/4...48dad3045c8894!8m2!3d41.2664272!4d-82.2238742

Hmm, sounds like he had reason to be nervous about police and he might actually not want to be found: http://www.goerie.com/article/20160617/NEWS02/306169782/marshals-task-force-arrests-girard-man

That link says he's been arrested.

That link says he's been arrested.

I believe the goerie.com article that talks about Richard's arrest is from 17 June 2016 (so before he went missing). His legal issues detailed in thr article could be a motivation for his disappearance though.

Gotcha, thanks! It always makes me sad when dogs are left behind. No matter the reason.

That really gets to me too Thank goodness someone saw them in the car, so hopefully they are being well cared for now.

The first article says his dad came and got the dogs after the police took them to an animal shelter.

On Wednesday, October 18th 2017 a body was found by a deer hunter in the woods north of Parson's Rd. at West Ave. in Oberlin/Russia Twp, about 2 miles northeast of the Walmart where the man went missing. They have not published yet if it is a male or female or how long the body appeared to have been there, so it may not be the same person, but my search found this story of a missing man near this location and I couldn't find any follow-up story showing he had been found so just commenting in case someone is keeping up with this case and it turns out to be him. We have certainly had our share of bodies being found around Lorain County so it could be someone else. I know from personally walking it, that the woods north of Walmart can lead to the bike path behind the Reserve street development which connects with the main bike path and if you go east until Parsons Rd. it continues to the Oberlin Reservoir area where the body was found. It's not a very far walk, has many heavily wooded spots (except where you cross Rt. 58 near the old train depot and McDonald's), and likely no one would notice you if you were walking it at night. Lots of people walk around Oberlin at night being a college town (although not on the path which closes at dark and there are fewer students in summer - mostly locals)

Interesting article from 7/26/2016. It states that his parents were not concerned after learning Richard had grabbed a taxi to return home. They said he often disappeared for days at a time and returned home. His dad picked up his dogs and vehicle. Richard is not listed in NamUs and no msm updates found.

I submitted him for comparison against a UP found in Erie (16mi or so from Girard, where he lived).
