Robert Kelley Jr., 22, and his girlfriend Ida Faye Basco, 23, were last seen at their Hooshootoo Road home in East Baton Rouge Parish on March 15, 1979. Their disappearance was abrupt: the house showed no signs of forced entry or struggle, and both left without trace along with a red Ford truck they were associated with. Ida was the mother of a four-year-old daughter at the time, a detail that underscores the family impact of their disappearance.

Despite early investigative efforts, the case went cold with very few leads. The Baton Rouge Police Department retains the file, and the LSU FACES Laboratory has maintained active profiles for both Robert and Ida as part of attempts to generate new leads using modern tools. Robert is described as a white male with brown hair and hazel eyes.

Does anyone have memories of the couple, the red Ford truck, or information about Hooshootoo Road in 1979 that could help move this case forward?
