The family has set up an informal (no law enforcement or professional support so far) search scheduled for tomorrow (Saturday 6/9) at 8am, to begin at 3 Zero Cafe in Moss Beach. If anyone knows of any professional or experienced searchers, etc. in this area that might want to volunteer their time, this would probably be very helpful to the family.

On the Find Richard Moss FB page, his father posted something of great interest.Here's my summary of one part of the search:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1799357063726732/
They searched a ravine south of Caltrans Ravine, which is separated by a mountain. There is apparently a broken 4" wooden signpost at the north end. They think the break is caused by an "impact". The ravine is noted an impenetrable because the thicket is ranges from 3 feet tall to 15 feet tall at the bottom of the ravine. I guess there is also a dry creek bed at the bottom area, and I'm guessing when it's flowing with water it just feeds the thicket and stinging netties and makes it more dense. I guess those stinging netties are really mean right now, and hindered searching deep into the thicket. Maybe they need a machete. In conclusion, they were unable to fully search the ravine, and only did a visual search from the southern rim road and 350' up from the north mountain.

They are sending a drone out today to see if they can see anything there. I hope SAR can also get in there and check it out more thoroughly. If he is in there, he could still be alive but unable to open the car doors due to the thick brush, or not able to exit the vehicle due to the stinigng netties.

People can be so cruel. Some comments on the FRM page really have me rolling my eyes. Anyway, some searchers took pics of car debris in an area off Verde Rd. that they couldn't access themselves, but it sounds like they called LE and they may be going out to search. It may not be RMs car, but the blue sure looks like the right color and it's visible so it's probably relatively new in section of the ravine :(

I sure hope that he is found soon! Wishing the best in the search!

This case has been so strange - he just vanished. It seems as though LE and the media haven't gotten terribly involved, either. Hoping the searching reveals something!

He left in a 2001 blue Hyundai Tiburon with California license plate No. 5DWY562, sheriff’s officials said.

Moss is described as a white man with hazel eyes and dark brown hair who is 5 feet 11 inches tall and 150 pounds.

His family is trying to raise $10,000 to offer a reward for information about him and to pay for a search if necessary

Car part found may be Moss' : http://abc7news.com/news/car-of-missing-man-found-near-montara-state-beach/2213105/

MONTARA, Calif. (KGO) -- The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office says they're investigating the discovery of part of a car under the investigation of a Bay Area man who disappeared before Memorial Day.

Volunteer searchers told ABC7 News a car belonging to Richard Moss was discovered 300 feet north of Montara State Beach on Thursday morning. Officials later clarified that only part of a vehicle was found and they're not sure if it belongs to the missing 22-year-old.
 
On the FRM FB page, Richard's dad is expectedly heartbroken, and ANGRY. Apparently multiple cars have gone over the cliff in that exact same spot and Cal Trans has never done anything to prevent future accidents. Can't say as I blame the dad. This is an unnecessary tragedy.

Still waiting for positive ID on the car, and Richard is also not yet found. Sounds like the next step is the use of underwater drones to locate the remainder of the car. So sad. :(

Catching up in here, finally. Hopefully the family will find out for sure soon.
