Bobby Lee Robinson was 41 when he left his mother’s home in Wilmington, North Carolina, on an evening in May 1995 and never returned. He was last seen at the residence in the 500 block of South 18th Street between 7:00 and 8:45 p.m. after waking from a nap on the couch and saying he was going for a walk.

At the time he disappeared he was wearing a burgundy sweater, beige pants, black shoes and a gold nugget ring on his right hand. Bobby was an African American male, about 5 feet 7 inches and 165 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and burn scars on both upper arms; reports note he might have had a mustache, beard or goatee. He had a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia and needed medication, and was known to become violent when not taking it.

The Wilmington Police Department investigated but few details or leads have emerged. The case has been shared by missing persons organizations over the years, yet Bobby’s whereabouts after that walk remain unknown.

If anyone knew Bobby, saw him that evening, or has information about his movements in May 1995, please come forward.
