Robert Firestone, 82, was last seen in his bed at a care facility in Garberville, California, around 7 p.m. on April 25, 2011. He was discovered missing the next morning when a caretaker checked on him.

The disappearance prompted a large-scale search involving local law enforcement, volunteers, and search-and-rescue teams, including helicopters. Searches covered surrounding areas and local homeless camps. Investigators described the case as high-risk because of Firestone’s age and possible health issues, and there was speculation he may have wandered off confused or disoriented, though no concrete evidence for that theory was reported.

After days of searching, leads were exhausted and the active search was called off. Firestone has never been found and his whereabouts remain unknown.

If anyone knew Robert, saw him in the Garberville area after April 25, 2011, or has information that could help, please come forward.
