Robert S. Willis, 37, of Caruthers, California, was last seen October 29, 2008, when he left for a deer hunting trip in the Dinkey Creek area of Fresno County and planned to return November 1 for his son’s football game. He was wearing a camouflage Harris Construction jacket, blue jeans, and hunting boots. His gray and black 2000 Nissan Frontier was found abandoned on Forest Road 10S31, but Willis himself was not located. A multi-day search with aircraft and ground teams was suspended after two weeks because of severe weather and snow; further searches, including efforts in 2014, have not produced significant clues.

If anyone was in the Dinkey Creek area that late October 2008 or has information about the truck or Robert’s route, please come forward.
