Robert Lee Kellar was 20 when he was last seen on February 12, 1990, leaving Muscatine, Iowa. An aspiring rock musician who frequently hitchhiked to states such as California, Colorado, and Florida, he often stayed out of touch for long stretches but usually returned home every few months. In the months before he disappeared his family noticed signs of depression, possible drug use, episodes of paranoia and moments when he failed to recognize relatives.

The day before he vanished Kellar was involved in a physical altercation and spent a short time in jail; he disappeared after his release on February 12. A missing persons report was not filed until 1992 because the family expected he might come back. Authorities found no evidence of foul play and concluded he had likely left voluntarily. The family believes he could be living in another state, possibly Colorado, California, New York, or Florida, but there has been no contact since his disappearance.

If anyone knew Robert’s travel patterns, contacts, or saw him after February 12, 1990, please share what is known.
