Robert O. Rutland, 61, left his Grand Island, New York home on March 17, 2009, intending to get a haircut in nearby Niagara Falls and never returned. His gray 2007 Cadillac Escalade was recovered parked and unoccupied on 20th Street in Niagara Falls, confirming he reached the city but yielding no further leads.

A witness later reported seeing someone matching Rutland’s description jump into the Niagara River and head toward the Falls on the morning of March 18, 2009. That sighting remains unverified, and no definitive evidence has emerged to explain what happened after he left for his haircut. Rutland was last described wearing a blue windbreaker-style jacket, jeans, and a leather cap.

Does anyone remember seeing Rutland, his Escalade, or activity along 20th Street or the river area on March 17–18, 2009?
