 (above photo credit: Unsolved Wiki) Fugitive Profile as of August 20th, 2014 (Based on FBI.gov profile): Date(s) of Birth Used: July 6, 1964 Place of Birth: Ashe County, North Carolina Height: 5'8" Weight: 175 pounds Hair: Brown Eyes: Green Sex: Male Race: White Nationality: American Scars and Marks: Bare may have a tattoo of a panther on his right forearm. Remarks: Bare has ties to South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and Florida. Who to call if you've seen him: Local FBI field office or embassy or submit a web tip at tips.fbi.govIn 1990, AMW first aired the case of wanted prison escapee Richard Lynn Bare. Back in 1984, a female friend tried to avoid sexual advances from Bare in a rural area of Wilkes County, North Carolina. Bare then proceeded to throw the woman off a 1200ft cliff to her death. Her remains were later located and Bare was incarcerated until his trial, however he escaped in 1985. Despite being on the run for over 25 years, I still consider Bare to be pretty catchable. Interesting fact that was mentioned on the old AMW forum was that Bare's sister was dating a prison guard where Bare was incarcerated in 1985. It's more than likely that his family knows of his whereabouts. www.fbi.gov/wanted/murders/richard-lynn-bare/viewUPDATE from site admin: As of July 26th, 2018, Bare is still listed as an absconder, according to North Carolina's online inmate lookup: webapps.doc.state.nc.us/opi/viewoffender.do?method=view&offenderID=0018847&searchLastName=Bare&searchFirstName=Richard&listurl=pagelistoffendersearchresults&listpage=1Admin Note: If you have any news-related updates on this case, please contact us here: amwfans.com/thread/1662/website-contact-form |

The Unsolved Mysteries episode which feature Bare mentioned that he was almost captured in the early 90s, but escaped before the police arrived at a relatives house where they believed he was staying. That makes it very clear to me his family's protecting him.

Wanted to bump this thread since this past month was the 30th anniversary since Bare escaped from prison. I also found out a couple of updates. According to the Unsolved Mysteries wikia page, Sherry's mother died in 2011, without seeing justice for her daughter's death. Also, Jeffrey Burgess, who was with Bare and Sherry at the time of the murder and was also arrested but never brought to trial, died back in 2012. And back in 2002, a judge ordered that fingerprints be taken from a man named "Richard Presnell" who they believed could've been Bare under a false name. However, he fled before authorities could fingerprint him. There have also been tips that Bare has been seen disguised in North Carolina within a couple of years, especially at funerals for relatives. I also saw that the FBI took him off their Most Wanted page under "Murders." I'm guessing the FBI is no longer looking for him. This case always seemed like a clear-cut case of family hiding family. I just don't get why 1. Someone would hide someone for 30 years (you'd think after 5 or 10 that they would simply move on and leave them be) and 2. That there is not one person in the Bare family who wouldn't give him up. Bare seemed like a bum, are we supposed to believe every single family member (cousins, brother-in-laws, aunts, etc) all liked Richard enough to hide him from the FBI for 30 years? This leads me to believe that he's probably away from North Carolina, living on his own (for how long though is anyone's guess). And if he's supposedly appearing at funerals for family members, you would think authorities would quietly conduct surveillance to see who shows up. This just seemed like an easy capture. Very surprised he's been on the run this long. unsolvedmysteries.wikia.com/wiki/Richard_Bare |

Oh wow, didn't know about the FBI taking him off the list- it is a very old case- sometimes the FBI removes old cases for newer ones- but it doesn't mean they still wouldn't take tips on him. I guess I'll leave the FBI info out there but if anyone has info and the FBI tells them they aren't handling the case anymore they can also contact me on our private contact form and I can figure out where to send the info if the FBI isn't involved anymore. (I usually don't take tips but will forward unsolicited ones, but in this case, who knows where anyone can turn to now if they know where Bare is).

I’m surprised Richard Lynn Bare is very young, he’s only 53 and born in 1964. He’s easy to find as he’s living within the U.S., however it’s a shame he’s been removed from the FBI site for a few years now.

It's pretty clear that Bare's family is protecting him or at least his sister (who said it herself that she doesn't believe he was the killer) was in someway involved in his escape. Law enforcement need to find a way to monitor the Bare family in hopes of catching him.

I think Richard Lynn Bare is a pretty awful individual and his crime is over the top that I’m surprised he never made the Top Ten List then. I’m more inclined want him to be added now as he’s still young being born in 1964 he comes in around his late 50s currently, and this case is appropriate to replace Yaser Said if they wanted a cold case. He was almost arrested in 1993 while living with relatives in Delaware, but FBI agents missed him by a few hours according to the Unsolved Mysteries Wiki. Burgess, Barr’s partner passed away in 2012 as they couldn’t try him without Richard Bare in custody. unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Richard_Bare |

Searched Pacer and the federal case against Bare (it doesn't list exact charges as to if this is regarding UFAP warrant or not) was dismissed without prejudice (meaning they can bring it back) in 2018.

Could be. At least it's without prejudice though and not all hope is list if Bare is still alive and ever caught.

I re-read the Pacer documents and while a reason isn't given for the 2018 without prejudice dismissial, in 1985, it was speculated Bare was possibly taking "refuge with allies in either the state of Florida or California."
We already knew about Florida, but apparently Bare has ties to California as well.

Does anyone know Bare sister name or any of his families first names? it might be easier to find him if we knew the first name of anyone in his family.

I feel like we can do that for any fugitives but it would only be helpful in sleuthing in possible whereabouts.
I'd just advise to mention locations and not names if we find areas where relatives are from though as to not unnecessarily out them when they aren't the fugitive.
