John Wade Roberts, 47, was last seen October 6, 2019, in Hesperia, California, together with his wife Julie Englehart and their daughter Brooke Roberts. The family had recently moved back to Hesperia in 2019 after living in Ozark, Alabama, where John grew up. At the time they were staying at a Motel 6 and Julie told a relative by phone they planned to move near Spring Valley Lake for a new job cleaning trailers and would call the next day. That call never came, and the family was not reported missing until 2021 despite being out of contact for an extended period.

Law enforcement has been asking the public for help locating the Roberts family but no solid leads are reported and the case remains open. The sudden nature of their disappearance and the delay in reporting are key unanswered elements. If anyone has information about where John, Julie, or Brooke Roberts might be, please contact the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
