Robert Bernard Canuelle, 59, of Austin was last seen October 3, 2003, while aboard a boat near the VIP Marina on Lake Travis with a companion, Muna Haji. Later that day the vessel was found drifting unanchored in Cottonwood Cove and Canuelle’s truck was located parked at the marina; neither person was ever found.

Canuelle was 5 feet 8 inches and about 160 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes and wore dentures. Authorities believe an accident and drowning are possible explanations, but no bodies were recovered and a Travis County Sheriff’s Office dive search turned up no additional evidence. The case remains open.

If anyone was on or near Lake Travis around October 3, 2003, or has information about the boat, the VIP Marina or Cottonwood Cove that could help locate Robert Canuelle or Muna Haji, please contact the Travis County Sheriff’s Office or the Texas Department of Public Safety.
