Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP12487) and 6 other sources
In the autumn of 2010, a then 59-year-old man named Robert H. Wiltsie, also known as Bobby, disappeared from Amsterdam, New York. The last confirmed sighting of Robert was on October 7, 2010, at St. Mary's Hospital in the city. At the time he went missing, he was described as a white male with graying hair and blue eyes, standing at 5'8' and weighing around 145 pounds. He was last seen wearing a red and white plaid shirt paired with black jeans. Concerns for his wellbeing were heightened by the fact that he was in need of medication and might have been delusional.

Robert was a sociable individual, often found at local outpatient group meetings and frequenting coffee shops. Despite his social nature, he had no known means of personal transportation, making his sudden disappearance all the more puzzling. The circumstances surrounding his vanishing are limited, with no clear indications of where he might have gone after leaving the hospital. His case was officially created in the NamUs database on September 28, 2011, nearly a year after he was last seen. The Amsterdam Police Department is the primary investigating agency for his case.

Years have passed since Robert Wiltsie was last seen, and his case remains an unresolved missing person investigation. Despite the passage of time, he has not been forgotten, and his information is still circulated among missing persons networks. The details of his disappearance highlight a vulnerable individual who seemingly vanished without a trace from a place of care. The lack of any substantial leads or new information has left his family and community without answers, perpetuating a quiet uncertainty around the fate of Robert H. Wiltsie. The case serves as a somber reminder of the many individuals who go missing each year, leaving behind questions that linger indefinitely.
