SALISBURY, Md. — A $4,000 reward is now being offered in the search for a Salisbury man who vanished last summer. Richard David Beals Jr., 52, was last seen on or around July 17, 2024, in a wooded area near Still Meadow Boulevard. He was reported missing on October 19. Investigators later learned that Beals was homeless and had reportedly been living in the Mildale section of Salisbury before his disappearance.
The Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office is leading the investigation and continues to ask for the public’s assistance. A joint reward of $4,000 is being offered for information that leads to Beals’ location.
