Robert Freilich was 22 when he disappeared from Yonkers, New York, in the autumn of 1992. On October 27 he left the home he shared with his adoptive parents saying he was going to a club in downtown New York City; that was the last time his family saw or heard from him. He was driving a maroon 1987 Corvette that was found abandoned the next day near the Whiskey Bar in Manhattan, a bar he frequented.

Freilich was described as 5 feet 6 inches, about 145 pounds, with shoulder-length brown hair, brown eyes, scars above his left eye and below his right, a bonded front tooth and a pierced left ear. He was known to work part-time as a Westchester County park ranger and had told people he wanted to become a police officer, but investigators later learned he also worked in adult entertainment, dancing in gay nightclubs and appearing in gay and straight pornography under names including Rob and possibly Chris Lavae.

Tips over the years have ranged from theories that he left voluntarily to suggestions he may have been murdered while performing in an underground film. His family hired a private investigator who reportedly found no evidence of foul play, while police tips about a possible homicide kept that line of inquiry open. Does anyone who knew Robert, his work, or his social circles in 1992 have information that could help explain what happened?
