Eighteen-year-old Robert Franklin Linch was last seen October 3, 2007, in the area of Camden Drive in Greenville County, South Carolina. He was described as a Caucasian male with brown hair and blue eyes, about six feet tall and roughly 150 pounds. He was living in Piedmont at the time and has not been heard from since that autumn day.

Very little is publicly known about Robert’s movements or contacts on the day he vanished. Investigators with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office encountered an early shortage of leads: there is no reported surveillance footage, confirmed eyewitness accounts, or digital trail tied to his disappearance. That lack of tangible evidence left the case with a sparse timeline and few directions to pursue.

Robert’s family and community remain without answers. If anyone has information about his last known whereabouts, contacts he may have had around October 3, 2007, or unreported sightings in the Greenville or Piedmont area, please come forward.
