Bob Perry Austin, Jr. disappeared from Jefferson, Louisiana in the spring of 1995 after running away from Ochsner Hospital. Last seen on March 10, 1995, witnesses said the 19-year-old fled in the direction of the nearby levee wearing only green floral shorts and white socks, with no shirt or shoes. He was described as an African-American male, black hair, brown eyes, 5 feet 10 inches and about 155 pounds.

Why he was at the hospital and what prompted him to run remain unclear; some reports suggest he may have been a patient, but those details were never publicly clarified. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office classifies him as an endangered missing person and has kept the case open, though leads have been scarce and the investigation has largely gone cold.

If anyone knew Bob, saw him in Jefferson around March 10, 1995, or has information about his movements that day, please share what you know with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office.
