ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — There's an update Monday about remains of a man found earlier this month near Isaac Dickson School in the Montford neighborhood.
Asheville police tell News 13 they are very close to identifying the remains, are working with a family, and foul play is not suspected.

They are waiting for DNA results to release the man's name.

A NamUs Page is listed on google but does not come up when clicked on.

The family they are working with is not ours.
Although we have been recently asked for a DNA sample to add to Ricks case.
Also - Ruck is 62 not 63, or the 64 sizes we see sometimes.
And - his birthday is on the 18th this month, so we are all hoping he will contact one of us.

To his family, I am very sorry for what you are going through. I sure hope Richard comes home to you soon.

Welcome to Websleuths! It's a great place where you'll find caring people really interested in helping find your missing loved one. I've seen some amazing results from discussions had here on the forum. There is a process to become a Verified Insider here. It would be great if you could do that because cases with a VI are typically pretty active, and it's better when we have more accurate information. For example, that's the first time anyone has mentioned that Richard goes by the name Rick. Here's a link for how to become a Verified Insider.

I've been watching for information on Rick since the beginning. I'm so sorry you're going through this. I do hope he contacts someone soon. There doesn't seem to be much information on Rick out there. Any details might help.

I'm so sorry your family member is missing. Please do get a sample of DNA for his case file. I hope he comes home soon.

Thank you for your sentiment.
Fortunately someone told us about NamUs. I had to add him myself.

Thank you. At this point we fear the worse of course, but still live with hope in our hearts. Sometimes it is so surreal.

Yes, Rick does have an arrest record as he has bipolar disorder. Most times (like 98% of the time) he is just like everyone else, but when tragedy, or other heartbreak occurs in his life he has made big mistakes.
I would ask that you look beyond that, & treat his as a loved family member whose family is becoming desperate to hear some kind of news!

RJilgjrFAMmber · Aug 30, 2018

Still no news. Nothing.
The afternoon Rick went missing he left all of his things behind. Wallet, keys, everything. Which is entirely out of character, as he always took his things whenever he left a woman, or moved on from an area.
From the scene he could have just as easily walked to the other side of the yard.
In the next day or two as was requested I will do a “Introduction” of who Rick is, and his living conditions.
Unfortunately it took weeks before the police would even file the missing persons report because of Rick’s record. Which means they have nowhere to even start as far as we know.
Ttys, & once again thank you for the support.

I am truly sorry, again, that you are going through this. I am glad that you are still proactive in your efforts to find Richard. I hope that you are able to find him and soon. We look forward to the Introduction you will generously give us! Bless you and your family.

His NamUs page is down but I can't find any news about him being found.

NAMUS seems to have been removed, but he is still listed as missing on CUE (a North Carolina missing persons website): Richard John Jilg Jr – CUE – Community United Effort
