Robert Douglas Martin was born in 1940 and was about 28 when he disappeared in the late 1960s. The last confirmed contact with him was while he was working as a miner in the Northwest Territories, with January 1969 often cited as a marker for his disappearance. He was medium build, brown hair and blue eyes, with a distinctive white patch of skin around his navel and another on his hairline, which included a patch of white hair.

No witnesses to his last moments or clear indication of foul play are recorded. The remoteness of his last known location is noted as a major obstacle to searching, and searches for official records such as a birth or death certificate have not produced answers. The North Bay Ontario Provincial Police have been involved in the investigation, which remains an open and unresolved missing person file.

If anyone knew Robert, worked with him in the Northwest Territories, or has information about his movements around January 1969, please share what is known.
