Hobert G. Webber, a 72-year-old retired carpenter from Malone, New York, was last seen on July 28, 1969, while visiting his family’s old estate. Described as a Caucasian male, 5 feet 7 inches tall, about 175 pounds, with graying hair, he was a man of routine and his sudden disappearance alarmed those who knew him. The New York State Police in Malone handled the investigation but found few leads and no definitive answers.

Online speculation once linked him to unidentified male remains found in Wellington County, Ontario, in 1970 because both were similar in height and occupation and a carpenter’s pencil was found with the decedent; that lead was later discounted due to major discrepancies in time of death and identifying details. Genealogical records also show an unverified January 1970 death in Jefferson, New York, conflicting with official missing-person listings that record his disappearance in July 1969. The case remains open and unresolved.

Does anyone have memories of Hobert, or information about his movements in Malone in the summer of 1969?
