Robert Hilton Virgin, known as Bob, was 55 when he disappeared after a phone call from Purcell, Oklahoma, on November 10, 1986. He told family he would be home shortly but never arrived and was not heard from again. His vehicle, a white 1986 Chevrolet Chevette coupe with Oklahoma plate CFM-988, also went missing.

At the time he was described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches to 5 feet 11 inches, about 262 pounds, with brown and gray hair, a widow’s peak, and a mustache or mustache and beard. He was last seen wearing a medium blue knit short-sleeved shirt with navy stripes, beige polyester pants, a tan corduroy coat, and a Joseph Harp Correctional Center cap. Distinguishing marks included a cleft chin, a scar on the left chest above the heart, a vertical scar on the right abdomen, moles under the right arm, and skin discoloration on his lower legs and ankles.

The Purcell Police Department has kept the investigation open; his children provided DNA samples and the case was entered into NamUs in December 2016. If anyone in Purcell around November 10, 1986, remembers seeing Bob or that Chevette, please share what was seen or any information that might help.
