Robert Patrick Picard, 37, was last seen September 30, 1997, at his trailer on County Road 2006 in Bunnell, Florida. His landlord reported him missing after he stopped paying rent and failed to do promised work. When the landlord sent her son and grandson to check on him, they found Picard’s bicycle outside, the trailer in disarray and a large amount of blood inside.

Marijuana plants were growing in the trailer, and a week before Picard vanished the trailer had been burglarized by a group that included the landlord’s 15-year-old grandson; that youth was later convicted in connection with the break-in. Investigators believe Picard was likely murdered inside the home and that his body may have been disposed of in a nearby lake. Remains have never been found despite multiple investigations and new evidence developed in 2014, and the case remains unsolved.

Anyone who knew Picard, his movements around Bunnell in late September 1997, or who has information about the burglary and blood evidence is asked to come forward.
