Robert Walter Webb, 83, was last seen on May 27, 2024, near his Chattaroy, Washington, home in the area of East Tallman Road and North Jackson Road. His daughter found his gate open and the front door unlocked when she arrived on May 29, unusual for a man who kept a routine and had never before failed to check in with family.

Webb lives with dementia and was known for taking walks. Deputies from the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office mounted a search that included a K9 unit, which searched his property and nearby roadsides but failed to locate him. He is described as 5 feet 9 inches, about 155 pounds, with short gray hair and a gray goatee. He may have been wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and black sweatpants.

The open gate and unlocked door are unexplained and have left family and neighbors with unanswered questions. Anyone who was in the East Tallman Road or North Jackson Road area around May 27 and may have seen Robert or a man matching his description is asked to come forward.
