Born in 1941 to a 15-year-old Swedish-speaking mother who hid her pregnancy, Richard faced a difficult start – suffering from malnutrition and rickets before being left at a Boston orphanage.

After years in foster care, he was adopted by the Carlson family in Massachusetts, but tragedy struck again when his adoptive father died when he was 12.

Following a troubled youth, he joined the Marines and later drove to California in search of adventure, ultimately discovering his passion for reporting.

Tucker wrote: “Over the next decade, he was a copy boy at the LA Times, a wire service reporter for UPI and an investigative reporter and anchor for ABC News, covering the upheaval of the period.

“He knew virtually every compelling figure of the time, including Jim Jones, Patty Hearst, Eric Hoffer, Jerry Garcia, as well as Mafia leaders and members of the Manson Family. In 1965, he was badly injured reporting from the Watts riots in Los Angeles.”
