Reward offered in search for man missing since May

WESTWOOD, Pa. — A financial reward was announced on Wednesday in connection with the search for Richard Turton, a 57-year-old man last seen on May 27, 2014.

The Turton family asked the amount of the reward be undisclosed.

Turton was last seen around 5 p.m. May 27 leaving Colescott Street in Westwood. He was wearing tan jeans, a blue-and-white shirt and white shoes.

"I'm feeling a lot of fear," Turton's sister, Kathy Ford, said during an interview in June. "We are very concerned because it's been since May 27 and he hasn't had his heart medication or his thyroid medication."

Authorities said Turton has a heart condition/defibrillator and left all his medications at his home.

Turton stands about 6 feet tall, weighs about 150 pounds, has brown/gray hair and brown eyes.

Detectives are asking anyone who may have seen Turton to call the Pittsburgh Police Bureau's Missing Persons Squad at 412-323-7141.
