Robert Duane Lopeman was 51 when he was last seen in Longview, Washington, in August 2008. He was not reported missing until 2012. At the time he vanished he was described as a white male, 5 feet 11 inches, about 160 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He had scars on his face, neck, right leg, right knee and a finger on his right hand, plus tattoos reading Reefer on his right shoulder and BL Mania on his upper right arm.

Lopeman had been living in a small Longview apartment after an 11-month stay at Western State Hospital following an arrest in September 2007 for disorderly conduct and intimidating a public servant. He had a history of mental illness and past drug abuse. The long delay between his last confirmed contact and the missing-person report hampered the investigation, and police from the Longview Police Department and the Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Department continue to list the case as unsolved.

Does anyone in the Longview area remember Robert, his apartment, or seeing him in August 2008?
