Robin Schuurman, 48, was last seen on February 3, 2008, after leaving his Lummi Island home following an argument with his wife. He left behind his wallet, credit cards, driver’s license, and cell phone. Described as 6 feet tall and 150 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes, he was reportedly wearing a black turtleneck and brown insulated coveralls when he disappeared.

Robin’s 24-foot Bayliner cabin cruiser washed ashore unattended on the west side of Lummi Island. The boat had a half tank of fuel and a battery able to run the stern drive. A concrete pier block with a galvanized saddle was found on the deck; Robin had bought two similar blocks on the morning of February 2. His GMC truck was later found at Birch Bay Village Marina, unlocked with the key in the ignition. Investigators reported no signs of foul play, no note, and no evidence explaining his disappearance.

These elements — the argument, the abandoned but operational boat, the concrete block on deck, and the truck left with the key — form a troubling timeline that remains unresolved. Does anyone on Lummi Island or the Birch Bay area remember seeing Robin or his boat around February 2–3, 2008?
