Robert Boyer, 60, was last seen in Syracuse on the evening of January 16, 2019, leaving his home on foot in the 1600 block of East Genesee Street at about 9:50 PM. He reportedly left behind his cell phone and required medication, details that those who knew him say made his departure unusual and suggest it was not planned. Boyer is described as a white male with graying hair and glasses, about 6 feet tall and 240 pounds. He was wearing a black, blue, and grey plaid hooded jacket and khaki pants when last seen.

Boyer was known to frequent stores and restaurants around Erie Boulevard East, East Fayette Street and the city’s north side. The Syracuse Police Department opened an investigation and asked the public for help, but despite the circulation of his description and early leads the case has not produced significant breakthroughs. The disappearance has left family and the community with unanswered questions. If anyone remembers seeing Robert in January 2019 or has information about his movements, please come forward.
