Rico Harris

Rico Harris briefly rose to stardom while playing for the Harlem Globetrotters, probably the sport's most entertaining team. When he was assaulted in a road rage incident and beaten in the head with a baseball bat, he had only been a member of the team for one month. He managed to live, but he never entirely recovered. He could no longer play the game because of headaches and balance problems.

In the years that followed, Harris's life descended into chaos. He was detained multiple times for offenses like burglary and intoxication in public. But he changed his life after having a near-death experience spurred on by an overdose. He moved to Seattle to be with a girl he had met. He also turned to narcotics once more.

Harris made the decision to travel back to California on October 9, 2014, in order to speak with his mother and brother and bring some of his belongings back to Seattle. He vanished somewhere on the highway. He had contacted his girlfriend at 10:45 to let her know that he was exhausted and was going to the mountains to relax. Days later, his automobile was located in a county park parking lot. Nearby, size 18 footprints were found, but Harris was never again located.
