Robert Royal Chaple, 50, was last seen in Erickson, Manitoba, in the early morning hours of July 11, 1973. He was reportedly at home when he vanished and was not reported missing until July 24, 1973. He is described as slender, 66 inches tall, about 139 pounds, with brown hair that was beginning to thin.

The Wasagaming RCMP handled the investigation but has not released extensive information on leads, persons of interest, or search efforts, and contemporary news coverage or case files appear scarce. The official file remains open.

Did anyone in Erickson in July 1973 remember Robert’s movements or have information that could help clarify what happened to him?
