Jackie Robinson, 42, vanished after leaving Beaufort Memorial Hospital on Ribaut Road in late autumn 1999. He had been admitted that day after a seizure related to a chronic condition that requires regular medication; after being treated he signed himself out and was last seen walking outside the hospital to wait for a ride. He is described as 6 feet 2 inches and 250 pounds with noticeable knots on his face and the back of his head. At last sighting he wore dark-colored cargo pants and either a dark button-down shirt or a t-shirt.

The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office interviewed people and canvassed the area; community search parties and flyers were also organized, but no significant leads emerged and he was never heard from again. Few concrete answers exist about what happened after he left the hospital. If anyone saw Jackie around Beaufort Memorial Hospital that day or has information about his movements after he signed out, please share what is known.
