Detective Polinder called today & they have NO reason to believe that it’s not my Dad. He said Whatcom County Sheriffs have done everything they can. Washington State Patrol can’t don’t DNA testing. NAMUS couldn’t do DNA, but now they can but they have to find a lab that they can work with. They...

Yes. SOME of his human remains (his skull is missing) and his wallet, credit cards, gun and dog tags. I’ve been waiting 6 months for DNA confirmation and ignored and lied to. Thank you for caring.

I just got an e-mail from the Whatcom County Medical Examiner Gary Goldfogel: "This is a copy of what I just sent to the other person who sent the same email. It has been submitted. I have done what you requested within days of discovery of the human remains. We have done all we can locally. We...

I tweeted a couple months ago about how my Dad’s remains have still not been identified by DNA. A wonderful woman messaged me and asked if she could write and ask for me since they ignored me, she wrote me the above message. I looked up the laws about unidentified remains and wrote the email...

You are correct. Thank you so much! I have been so patient and only have asked twice for an update only to be met with lies and then ignored. “Hi Britney, This is a challenging message to start! I really love seeing all of your beautiful updates from your trip - I hope you are finding happiness...

I spoke with The Vanished Podcast last week and episode 303. Case Update: Ritchie Collins will be available Monday 9/6/2021 on Apple Podcasts or anywhere else you listen to podcasts! It will answer some questions but also a lot of questions have still not been answered. I’m doing ok, I hope...

Thank you for helping me, letting me vent, checking in with me, not forgetting about my Dad & I. It really meant a lot to feel your support I hope you know it helped me through this darkness. There are still way too many missing people. I’m thinking of Alexander Pisch and his family still...

R.I.P Ritchie Collins, I’m so sorry and I love you. I just got the call, some of my Dad’s remains (bones) have been found, his wallet, drivers license, credit cards, military dog tags, and some other things. His gun was found a couple days ago, which led to the search today. I am so grateful for...

One of my Dad's old co workers reached out to me tonight to ask if I had listed his home up for sale. Sure enough I checked and it was listed for sale 2 days ago. When I first found out my Dad was missing, my aunt and family wanted me to become trustee of estate. I felt hopeful looking forward...

Thank you both and everyone so much for caring, checking in and not forgetting about my Dad.

Happy Veterans Day, Dad. God bless all Veterans. ❤️

I’m completely burnt out and not in a mental space to answer any more questions anymore. I have spent a year and I still have no answers to what happened to my Dad. The investigation is non existent and quite honestly pathetic. I can’t handle this any more, this is too much. Thank you so much to...

John Lordan did a Brainscratch Searchlight episode for my Dad!

In The Vanished Podcast, I opened up about my life, including a relationship I was in with extreme domestic violence. I tried to keep it to a brief summary, because it wasn't about me but could explain a little more about my relationship with my Dad. Before my aunt passed away last December she...

I was doing some digging and found the Washington Association of Sheriff's & Police Chiefs. They list Ritchie Collins missing since 4/16/2019 This is the only exact date I have seen of when he went missing, I will definitely follow up with the Detective. Missing Persons Information

Detective will be back from vacation in September, I told him I would contact him and follow up about the phones! In his e-mail he said he was going to reach out to one of my Dad's co workers, when I follow up with him I am going to urge him to talk with 3 of his co workers who have been trying...

8/17/2020 UPDATE: Today I received an e-mail from the lead Detective on my Dad's case, nothing big but I want to share this info: "Here are some follow up items that have been completed, and / or will be done in the near future; - Myself and two detectives performed a search of the...
