Robert Robby Gallagher, 31, disappeared from the North Shore of Oahu on November 2, 2020. Family concern had grown over his mental health during the 2020 pandemic; he lived in Hawaii and loved the ocean. The last conversation his mother had with him was a phone call on Halloween 2020.

On November 2 local police encountered Gallagher in Kahuku; he was described as acting strangely and accepted transport by ambulance to Kahuku Hospital but did not stay for treatment. A short time later a woman reported seeing him trying to open the door of a house near the hospital. A pair of body surfing fins later confirmed by family as his were left at that location. He was last seen wearing a t-shirt, board shorts, and sandals; his passport and other belongings remained in the house he shared with roommates.

Days later his brother’s repeated calls eventually reached a person who had found Gallagher’s phone on the side of a road in Wahiawa, about twenty miles from where he was last seen; the finder had charged the dead battery before answering and returned the phone, but its contents offered no leads. Investigators have not found evidence of foul play and the circumstances remain a mystery.

If anyone on Oahu knew Robert, saw him around Kahuku or Wahiawa in early November 2020, or has information about his movements that day, please come forward.
