Robert Blane Abbott, 62, was last heard from by his wife on April 2, 2024, in Spokane, Washington. He is described as a white male, 5 feet 8 inches, about 165 pounds, with white hair and hazel eyes. His wife reported him missing on April 6 after a friend could not reach him for several days and found the house in disarray.

When the wife entered the property she found Robert’s dogs without food or water and both of his cell phones going straight to voicemail. A locked shop on the property was forced open and a pool of blood was discovered inside; Robert’s dark blue 2018 BMW M550XI and several tools were missing from the shop. The BMW was recovered on April 5 in Mead, Washington, and investigators found blood stains inside the vehicle and a large amount in the trunk, consistent with a large object having been stored there. Two fired cartridge cases and a bullet fragment were also recovered at the home.

The case is being treated as a homicide, though Robert’s remains have not been found. If anyone knew Robert, saw his vehicle in early April, or has information about the tools taken from his property, please share what you know.
