Roberta Rene Cable, 41, of Clearwater, Florida, was last seen at her home in the 1700 block of Owen Drive on December 14, 2013. She was due to start a new restaurant job on December 16 but never showed up, and a friend reported her missing in January 2014 after weeks of unsuccessful contact.

Cable lived with roommate Jerry Gaston. Gaston told investigators she had moved out to live with relatives, but her family out of state had not heard from her, which they said was unusual for the holidays. Investigators found Gaston’s statements inconsistent; he later stopped cooperating and became the primary suspect. In July 2015 detectives executed a search warrant at the Owen Drive residence and recovered evidence; a search of a property Gaston owned in Inverness produced no significant findings. Gaston died of natural causes in January 2016 and the investigation remains active.

Anyone with information that could help provide closure to Roberta Cable’s family and friends is asked to contact the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office at 727-582-6200 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-873-TIPS.
