Details of Disappearance

Rudolph was last seen walking his two dogs in the vicinity of Tidwell and C.E. King in northeast Houston, Texas at 6:00 p.m. on March 6, 2015. He never returned home and has never been heard from again.

Several hours later, one of the dogs came home alone and without its leash. The next day, the second dog also returned home alone and missing its leash. After Rudolph's disappearance, authorities found his asthma inhaler in an empty field where he usually walked the dogs. There was no other sign of him.

For months prior to Rudolph disappearance he had been suffering from depression. His older brother had died in a motorcycle accident in 2001, and Rudolph had witnessed this death. In 2014 his father, a Houston police officer, had died by suicide.

At the time of his disappearance, Rudolph was scheduled to testify in a criminal case. It's unclear whether the testimony was a factor in his disappearance, but he is considered missing under unclear circumstances. His case remains unsolved.
