Robert Lue Verne Odman Sr. was 53 when he was last known to have contact with authorities on January 6, 1996. NamUs lists him as Missing Person MP7193 with Sioux Falls, South Dakota as the case association and the Sioux Falls Police Department named as the investigating agency, but his case is unresolved and not listed as Alive or Deceased.

Reports indicate Robert first left Sioux Falls in September 1995 after an altercation with his two sons; he reportedly drove away in a silver Bronco and did not return. On January 6, 1996, he is said to have walked into the Walsenburg, Colorado police station asking where to find a homeless shelter and then vanished after leaving the station. He is described as a White male, sandy brown hair, blue eyes, blind in his left eye, 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 3 inches tall, 175–190 pounds, with a scar on his abdomen from spleen surgery and a forearm tattoo of a knife with a skull. The Charley Project notes he was reportedly depressed over the death of his daughter around the time he disappeared.

There are no confirmed accounts of his movements after he left the Walsenburg station. If anyone has information about Robert Lue Verne Odman Sr. or recalls seeing him in South Dakota or Colorado in late 1995 or early 1996, contact the Sioux Falls Police Department.
