He was arrested! I really hope the police are looking at a possible connecting to Rio's disappearance. 8 miles between her phone and the previous rape location is too fishy. I went to high school in Spanaway and 8 miles in a vehicle is just driving from one neighborhood to another out there. Hope Rio is found soon.

Yes, hopefully they can check on his whereabouts on 10/17!!!

Does anyone know how to look up registered sex offenders in Rio Boyd's neighborhood? That's a good place to get potential POI.

I am thinking of Rio this afternoon. Hopeful that something of value can be discovered today in the search for her.

 

[ChatteringBirds]

My heart goes out to Rio's family. I hope LE has a large experienced team quietly hard at work on her case. This really feels like a true abduction, IMO. May she be located safe very soon.

I really had been expecting some news by now.
What happened to Rio??

Detectives believe Ricardo Villegas Molina could have more victims so take a close look at him and contact the Pierce County Sheriff's Department if you recognize him. https://q13fox.com/news/serial-rape-suspect-charged-with-multiple-counts-of-rape-kidnapping-in-pierce-county…

Thanks for this link, @Knox—I am going to share this with the college students I teach because we regularly discuss media representation and bias in the media in my classes!

There is nothing new that I can find about Rio.
Rio, where are you?

'It's been hard to deal with': Birthday vigil held for missing Spanaway woman

Friends, family and neighbors of a missing Spanaway woman gathered Sunday night in honor of her birthday and to raise awareness of her disappearance.

www.q13fox.com

[...]

Rio Boyd turned 22 years old on March 23, but she's been missing since October 17. She was believed to be going to her friend's home but never made it there. Her brand-new cell phone was found off Field Rd. a block away from the mobile home park she lived in.

Rio's stepsister, JF put on the birthday party-turned-vigil to remind the community that Rio is still missing.

[...]

The Pierce County Sheriff's Department says rumors circulated in January that Rio had been found but those were not true and there are no new updates.

Rio's family has since hired a private investigator but they believe someone knows something about her disappearance and hope anyone with information will come forward.

Her uncle posted this online: "A day an a half later as her father was calling and calling her new phone, that she had just received about four hours prior to leaving, a neighbor, while walking his dog, heard it ringing and found it on the side of 400 Field Rd. in Spanaway, less than a block from her home. No young lady would just leave her working phone on the side of the road! This raised huge suspicion, worry and fear."

Where is Rio Boyd? Spanaway woman still missing a year later

It's been a year since Rio Boyd disappeared. The 21-year-old left home on the night of Oct. 17, 2022, and never returned, according to sheriff officials.

JMO, Rio is no longer alive. Either she was abducted or went with someone she knew and something went wrong. The phone being found points to abducted.

She didn't just walk away or willingly disappear herself. It's been over a year!!

 

[imstilla.grandma]

“We like to maintain the possibility that she’s going to walk in the door one day, that she just had a trouble patch and she’s just waiting for a moment to come back,” Brian Boyd said.

“Things will never be the same without her and if she sees this I hope she knows that she is loved very much by her parents,” he said.
