An unexpected development
In 2016, 23 years after Richard went missing, something unexpected took place. Linda received a call from detective Anthony Cardillo of the Pasco County Sheriff’s Department in Florida. She was informed that Richard Hoagland had been located. Linda could hardly believe what she heard.
A different life in Florida
Richard went hiding in Florida all along. He lived another life in West Palm Beach with a new family. But how he was found was rather disturbing. The police arrested him for assuming a stolen identity.
