Robert Joseph Thompson was 56 when he left Sarasota, Florida, in May 1993, saying he planned to move to Colorado. The last known contact was May 1, 1993. Thompson is described as a white male, 6 feet tall, about 200 pounds, with graying, partially balding hair combed over, hazel eyes and a scar on his left cheek.

On June 7, 1993, Thompson’s vehicle was found abandoned at Mile 1289 of the Alaska Highway near Midway Lake in Tok, Alaska — thousands of miles from the route to Colorado. There was no sign of Thompson at the scene, and he has not been seen or heard from since. His disappearance is classified as an endangered missing person case and remains an open investigation with the Alaska State Troopers.

The key unresolved question is how and why his car ended up in remote Alaska when he had reported plans to relocate to Colorado; few other verifiable leads are described. Does anyone have information about Thompson’s travel plans in spring 1993 or recalls seeing his vehicle in Alaska that month?
