How Missing Man's Family Finds Him Alive 23 Years Later

Richard Hoagland's wife and kids had no idea what happened to him after he disappeared in 1993 until he was found living in Florida.

[@Acaidia]

@@frankboff1260 while its true that modern society has its flaws, to suggest that we aren't living in the best society ever is ignorant. In history murders, killings, and crimes were legal hell even encouraged and there wasn't any laws or people to enforce them. There were senseless genocides, barbaric stonings and beatings everyday. If someone was found out to have stolen property or cheated on their spouse then they would be dragged into the center of their village and the residents would all throw rocks at them and beat them to death. Nowadays we have a much more civilized and sensible way of solving problems, better morals, and respect for life.

A little update on this. He was convicted and served two years in jail. After getting out his second wife divorced him. In 2018 his first wife sued him for back child support in which the judge added the maximum interest of 18%. He was ordered to pay nearly two million. It's doubtful that they ever got a dime.

My "Dad" did something similar to my Mom, my sister and me. He left us in '94. He got up really early in the morning, stole ALL our money, filled a backpack with some clothing and just vanished. We didn't get a card, or a letter, nor a single word or lead of where he was. 25 years later, now in my 40s, I found him but he got away before I could reach him (thankfully for his well-being). It turnd out he never changed his name, but he got married again and had a child and a totally different family. He ruined our lives 'cause we got kicked out of the house we were renting, and ended up living with his brother's wife's derelict motel. I had to abandon my education to support my Mom and sister (we were 14 and 16 when he left). With a little bit of luck I'll find him again and we can have a little "chat" man to man...

[@iamtherealamandajo3990]

Wow I'm so sorry you went through that.... I hope you are in a better place. My father left me as well. I didn't understand as a child and even a teenager. I felt abandoned. I felt unwanted unloved.. but as I grew into my 20's I learned the World. And I Learned people. And I learned the things people do are on THEM and the person THEY are. It was not me. My father was just a looser and a coward. It had nothing to do with me. And I. Really happy to be free from all those feelings. I could not imagine bringing those feelings into my adult life.. I hope you chose to take control of your life and know it wasn't you that made him leave. It's the person who LEFT who is at fault.

[@Lucas_Tulic]

@@iamtherealamandajo3990 Hey dude. Sorry to hear that also, but it seems you turned out better than him. And yeah, I learned from a really young age that he was the problem, not us, and thankfully my Mom was a trooper and she did everything in her hands to give us the best life she could with the little we had. I learnt a couple of months back that he died (supposedly), so he got away with everything he did. That's my only regret, not being able to find him sooner to at least kick his ass, but unfortunately, here in Argentina you don't have the luxury of wasting time and money without working to go find a man that didn't want to be found. Anyway... thanks for sharing your story and all the best to you! Cheers from Buenos Aires!

[@EnlighteningTheWorld]

My husband left my daughter and I when she was about 18months old. No letter, no reason, no money left behind. We hàd just began our family and new life together and he disappeared without a trace for 6 months. He didn't have any family in the state where we resided. I immediately called his family out of state and country and no one had "heard" from him. I spoke with my neighbors and my uncle who lived next door and no one knew nothing. after contacting authorities, they stated he was an adult and if we weren't legally married there was nothing they could really do besides put out a "bolo". I searched day and night for 3 days crying through back roads at this job, bars, whatever would give me a slight answer. I had to get a second job in the meantime to pay for the additional car notes insurance and cell phones we had just got. The worst, was not having an answer to a child who would ask for her dad and now her mom was always at work. After 6 months and multiple threats I found him out of the country on an alcoholic binge. Needless to say I didn't recognize him in more ways than once and here I shattered me and my daughter's 💗 once again. He wanted bare minimum to do with us and to leave him alone as fast as we located him. He didn't want to be found and his family was protecting him in his escape from adulthood. This is where I realized he wasn't a man and less than a coward. My kid is now 18, (almost 19) and nothing has changed I've raised her as best as I could. It traumatized the both of us. The story goes on but I'll leave it here for now. This is both a psychological and character issue. Hurt people, hurt people. ~Xoxoxo

My aunt vanished like this and was declared dead. It happened way before I was born. She and her two year old daughter just vanished one day, along with the babies father. Foul play was suspected, especially when they found my two year old cousin abandoned in a orphanage across the country months and months later. My aunt never used her social security number after that. After police gave up, my grandmother hired private detectives, who never found a trace. Over 15 years later, my grandmother gets a letter from New Mexico. My aunt is alive, and it said "by the time you read this, I will be on my way driving to Michigan to visit" I was like 8. All I knew is suddenly, days before Christmas, my dad announced we were spending Christmas in Florida. We didnt have the kind of money for vacations. Christmas morning we opened presents and packed up and drove to Florida. I found out when I was older, that when my dad found out that my aunt had been alive this entire time, had abandoned her daughter for her mother to raise, he was enraged and refused to be in the state when she showed up. She never explained what happened. Never gave even her own mother any answers for what happened, where she went, why she was gone, why new Mexico? I started getting gifts in the mail, my aunt had signed me and my little sister up for these "animal of the month" clubs, we got different books about different animals each month and this binder to put the cards about the animals in. That is when my parents had to sit us down and explain my dad had a sister, he had never told us(well never told me and my sister, my mom knew lol). Then a year and a half later, my uncle died and my aunt came here for the funeral. I met her for the first time. She looked significantly older than my dad, her skin just looked like she lived a really rough life. She had this deep scratchy voice that scared me and I've always wondered what those 15+ years were like. Was she trafficked? Was she running from a crime and came back because the statute of limitations ran out? Was she harmed? She's still alive but she will never give answers to those questions

@@moseymay1772 Yeah, the inquisitive part of me wishes she felt comfortable talking about it. When she abandoned my two year old cousin, authorities were thankfully able to locate her and reunite her with my grandparents. They legally adopted her(which technically makes her my cousin by blood and my aunt by law lol). When my aunt resurfaced, she tried to start a relationship with her daughter again but it didn't really work out. The fact that she won't even tell my cousin what happened, when my cousin disappeared with her, is so wild to me. I can't imagine how confusing that had to be for my cousin, when the mother she assumed was dead, suddenly came to visit for Christmas and didn't want to explain where she had been for the last 15+ years of her life.

The fact that she thought she was going to be in the will, after all she had done and the way she behaved after coming back 🤦🏻‍♀️ that was shocking.

My grandfather left exactly just like that. My mom was nine and have 8 other siblings, the youngest was just months old. I'm so proud of my grandmother for being strong for all those years. In 2016 my uncle tracked his half-sister in facebook and in 2017 my sister and I met our half-uncle?? And said that they only found out they were second family (only the children, the second wife knew it all along) when they applied for death insurance and my grandmother was still listed as his wife on paper. P.S. they also left their two other children in my mom's home town in young age before they disappeared. Sadly the younger girl died as what my mom said and until now they didn't have a clue where the other one who is a boy maybe in his 40's now. After that they had 3 other children and they graduated with a degree in college while my mom and her other 8 siblings grew up struggling in poverty with my grandmother who worked hard for them to survive.

[@cosmicpussy-cat2528]

My son’s father passed away when he was a week away from turning 2. I’ve had dreams (more like bitter-sweet nightmares) of finding out he faked his death and his family was in on it the whole time just so he could leave the responsibility of a child and a partner for another woman who was younger (I was literally 22 when he passed so any younger would be concerning lmao) and I find out and the feeling is unlike anything I can describe, it literally messes with my head for the rest of the day after waking up from something like that, so to know this woman and her children LIVED my actual nightmare is horrifying. My partner didn’t go missing and I had to see his body so I know in reality it’s not possible for it happen to myself and our son but this also got me thinking about the possibility of someone just walking around out there using his death as a way for them to steal his identity and create a life in his name that we are no even remotely aware of. It’s a scary world out there. Shame on this idiot for putting his original family through this and then going on to create a brand new family to drag along through the fire with them as well in the end. Ugh.

Just goes to show no matter how old u are your parents will always help u in your time of need. Seeing her mother cry and say “I’m her parent and I needed to help her” was heart wrenching

This makes me respect real fathers more. I also wish my father wanted to be around, but life doesn’t work that way. You try to strengthen yourself and move on.
