Robert Angelo Furgiuele, known as Robbie, was 24 when he vanished from Squamish, British Columbia in the fall of 1991 or 1992. He lived in Squamish with his girlfriend and their young daughter and worked at a local grocery store after moving from Ontario following high school. Family in Ontario last heard his voice during a phone call in 1991; his weekly calls then stopped, which family say was out of character.

His family learned he was missing when his then-girlfriend phoned his mother to say he had gone out and not returned. Reports say he was last seen with a man known only as Larry, and there were unconfirmed suggestions he might have moved to Vancouver Island in 1992. The investigation remained open; in December 2017 the Squamish RCMP submitted familial DNA from Robbie’s family to the National DNA databank.

Robbie’s loved ones continue to seek answers about his disappearance and the fate of a young father who left behind a daughter. If anyone knew Robbie, knew where he worked or lived in Squamish, or has information about Larry or sightings after 1991, please come forward.
