Family Members To Missing Man: "We Love You, We're Scared"

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Richard Dewall's family tries not to think the worst, but their fears continue to grow with every passing day.

"We love you, we're scared," said his sister Renee Dewall. "We hope he's safe, just want him to come home."

His brother Steve Krise echoes pleas for Richard to come home.

"Rich, if you are out there, come back, everybody wants you back, we all miss you," he said.

Dewall left his parents' home on Howard Street in East Pittsburgh Feb. 25 and hasn't been seen since.

"He got a phone call and then left, left his cell phone and wallet on the table. We were sure he'd be right back," Krise said.

Some important dates have passed since then. The family knows they would have heard from him if he was able to communicate.

"He has a kid, he hasn't called and checked on him. 15-year-old kid had a birthday the other day, he hasn't called. I knew something was wrong then," Krise said.

Dewall's brother-in-law says he's been looking everywhere, even isolated remote areas around railroad tracks and under the Westinghouse Bridge. Police say he's missing under suspicious circumstances.

Right now no one can imagine what could have happened.

"He works, he's a nice guy, he's home a lot. Doesn't really do nothing wrong so I don't see what could have happened to him," Krise said.

Richard Dewall's family will be canvassing neighborhoods from East Pittsburgh to Monroeville Saturday. They'll be passing out flyers with his picture and are asking anyone if they know anything about his disappearance to call East Pittsburgh Police.
