Photo Credits: Tennessee Department of Corrections Eye Color: Brown Race: Black Hair Color: Black Height: 6' 1" Weight: 181 lbs. County: Davidson Date of Birth: 8/19/1945 Warrant #: K29722 Escape Date: 11/18/1981 Offense Sentence: Murder I We are requesting information on the murder that Richard Simmons was convicted of, as well as details on his escape. Any information or updated manhunt details can be sent to us at amwfans.com/thread/1662/website-contact-formAlso any information on Richard Simmons's whereabouts should be forwarded to the Tennessee Department of Corrections at 615-741-1000.--Thoughts? I checked all the news archive websites I could think and couldn't find any additional information on Richard Simmons. Authorities in Tennessee are still looking for him and he would be only 72-years of age so it's quite possible that he's still alive. web.archive.org/web/20170903124409/https://www.tn.gov/correction/article/tdoc-escapees

Not trying to make a joke but you'd think it would somewhat stand out on an internet that loves digging into cold crime cases that he shares the same name as the famous and eccentric exercise guru Richard Simmons.
He'd be 72 as of today which is definitely young enough to still be alive.

I found a February 1970 Nashville article from Newspapers.com about a "Richard Simmons" who shot and killed Thomas Arthur Potter during a robbery of a drive-in market. The owner of the market was also shot and wounded.
The reason I think this is the same guy is that the mugshot photo we have of Simmons is from October of 1970.
EDIT: Another article mentions that Simmons was 24-years of age when Thomas Potter was killed. So based on the fugitive's DOB, this is definitely the same person.
