Robert Keck was 16 when he left his Upper Saucon Township, Pennsylvania home on the afternoon of June 30, 1979, saying he planned to visit his girlfriend. He was last seen about 1:00 p.m. walking along Coopersburg Road toward Coopersburg, a couple of miles from home. Robert is described as a Caucasian male, blond hair, hazel eyes, 5 feet 7 inches, about 140 pounds, with a mole on the right side of his face and a small scar on his right cheek below his eye. He wore a blue t-shirt with Beach Bum printed on it, cut-off jeans, tan shoes with crepe soles, and a silver chain with a white cross.

Robert told his mother he expected to get a ride later because he did not have a driver’s license, but he never arrived at his girlfriend’s house and did not return home. His family reported him missing the evening of June 30; they said he was close to them, a good student and not the type to run away. The Pennsylvania State Police joined the probe in July 1980. Leads were exhausted by 1987 and the case went cold. In 2014 a woman alleged she and a friend were involved and directed searches of a Berks County woodlot, but nothing was found and no charges resulted.

Who in the area at the time remembers seeing Robert that afternoon or knows anything about the ride he expected?
