Robert Stanley Kielpinski, 63, traveled from Tulsa to Boulder during the last weekend of August 2024 to buy a truck and trailer from a salvage yard. The trip was intended to be brief, but he told a friend he would be extending his stay for unclear reasons. On September 7 he contacted that same friend saying he was preparing to return to Tulsa, yet he never arrived home. He was reported missing on September 9. Authorities recorded a confirmed contact with him in Boulder on October 4, 2024, which stands as the last verified interaction.

Robert is described as a white male with blonde or strawberry-colored hair, blue eyes, 5 feet 10 inches tall, and about 180 pounds. The Boulder Police Department is investigating his disappearance and has been working to reconstruct his movements and contacts while in the city. Few public leads have been reported, and the reason for his extended stay remains unexplained.

If anyone in Boulder saw Robert during late August through early October 2024 or has information about his planned purchase or movements, please share what you know.
