Robert Anthony Williams was 37 when he disappeared from Maryville, Tennessee, after the last known contact on August 20, 2002. He is described as a white male, 5 feet 9 inches tall, about 165 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

After that final call on August 20, Robert stopped answering his cell phone and no significant leads have emerged; there is no clear account of his last movements or what happened next. The investigation remains open.
