Case summary by Jody Ewing

Black Hawk County in Iowa

Waterloo in Black Hawk County

Richard Forsyth was last seen in Waterloo, Iowa on October 18, 1979, leaving his apartment and carrying something wrapped in a rug. He has never been heard from again.

There has been some speculation that his disappearance is connected to the disappearance of another Waterloo man, Steven Kirchhoff, who disappeared in 1978. Forsyth paid cash for a Cadillac a week after Kirchhoff disappeared. Nothing has been uncovered to officially link the two cases. Both disappearances remain unsolved.

If you have any information concerning this case, please contact the Waterloo Police Department at 319-291-4345.
